Rye partnership launches Canada’s first ‘Cybersecurity Accelerator’

Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst—a corporation at Ryerson—is partnering with the Digital Media Zone (DMZ) in launching the Catalyst Cyber Accelerator—a three-month program that provides mentorship and resources to support entrepreneurs in the cybersecurity industry.
The program will help boost Canada’s cybersecurity industry by providing guidance and mentorship to cybersecurity companies such as Rogers Communications, Government of Canada, RBC and Amazon Web Services.
The type of mentorship provided is still unclear but according to the accelerator’s official site, it’ll be announced soon.
An accelerator like the one being opened up by Ryerson could have a large impact on the future of cybersecurity.

Pushing for students to take four years to fulfill a cybersecurity degree will leave those jobs unfulfilled until 2024.
The accelerator looks to shorten that gap in employment before 2024 by increasing the number of resources and connections available for established cyber-related businesses.
The Accelerator hopes to help entrepreneurs “innovate and compete nationally and internationally,” said executive director of the Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst Charles Finlay in a press release.
Over the next two months, Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst and DMZ will be working on a national recruitment roadshow—a series of info sessions in cites across Canada.
This is in the hopes of attracting cyber-related companies to apply to the accelerator.
