The latest episode of 7 Minutes on ITSPmagazine, recorded during the Black Hat Sector 2024 event in Toronto, Canada, brings insights from the dynamic world of cybersecurity training and education. Hosted by Sean Martin, the discussion features Rushmi Hasham, Director of Strategic Partnerships, and Vasu Daggupaty, Manager of Strategic Partnerships and Investments, both from Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst.


Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst, a non-profit organization operated by Toronto Metropolitan University, serves as the university’s national hub for cyber education. The organization’s focus spans three primary areas: training individuals to become cybersecurity professionals, helping organizations to bolster their cyber safety measures, and assisting cybersecurity founders in bringing their innovative solutions to the market.


Vasu Daggupaty explains that the Catalyst’s training programs certify individuals with the necessary credentials to be employable in the cybersecurity field. Moreover, organizations receive guidance on enhancing their incident response strategies and other critical safety practices. An essential part of their mission is also supporting innovators in launching new cybersecurity products and services.


The episode highlights a compelling story of Gina, a former nurse transitioning into a cybersecurity analyst role. This transformation exemplifies the success of the Catalyst’s Accelerated Rapid Training Program. Rushmi Hasham elaborates on the program’s design, which caters to mid-life career changers, providing a seven-month intensive course in collaboration with the SANS Institute. The program equips participants with hands-on skills, transitioning knowledge, and career development, ensuring they are job-ready upon completion.


Additionally, the Catalyst’s corporate training services include non-technical tabletop exercises to prepare executives for real-life cyber threats. They also offer a cyber range where clients can safely engage with live malware to elevate their technical response capabilities. This comprehensive approach is instrumental in addressing Canada’s cybersecurity skills shortage and enhancing the nation’s defensive posture. The episode concludes with an invitation to explore the Catalyst's investment initiatives aimed at fortifying cybersecurity innovations and talent development across Canada.
