FIGHTING CYBERTHREATS AND BUILDING A SAFER DIGITAL WORLD
Help design and secure our digital landscape! As a graduate student at Concordia University, you can ensure the protection of the intelligent networks that connect billions of people and objects around the globe.
From data protection to building
the mobile networks of tomorrow, our cybersecurity
efforts are multifaceted.
Hubs for collaboration & learning
Concordia’s Security Research Centre brings together academics from multiple disciplines, private sector security practitioners and more. In addition, the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering offers graduate level studies for students engaged in a multitude of cybersecurity related research activities. By bridging ideas and industries, we're on our way to becoming Canada’s leading source for education, training and research in information systems security.
Advancing 5G and beyond
The 5G network will change the world—if it can handle the inevitable surge of internet-enabled devices and objects. We’re exploring innovative approaches to transmitting data more efficiently and reducing the overall load on the system. We’re also creating ways to make the next generation of wireless technology more accessible and affordable for everyone.
Identifying vulnerabilities
The Internet of Things is becoming more and more entwined with our daily lives. But as our reliance on smart devices increases, the amenities we often take for granted become more vulnerable to sabotage, data breaches and other cyber threats. To stand up to bad actors, Concordia is developing faster, more reliable ways to stop attacks before they happen and keep the world running smoothly.
An interdisciplinary approach
Increased interconnectedness and AI-powered decisions pose ethical and moral dilemmas that humankind is only just beginning to understand. We cast a wide net to address the big questions.
From engineers to policy experts, we're working together to bridge the digital divide and address emerging security realities. At Concordia, collaboration drives innovation.
By creating stronger, more secure networks, Concordia is ushering in a new era of connectivity.
