Durham College's multisectoral small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) partners have identified an urgent need for support to address the escalating risks and rising costs of privacy and data security. In response, Durham College launched a new virtual centre, the Centre for Cybersecurity Innovation, in February 2020 as part of a plan to increase cybersecurity applied research capacity. Funding from the NSERC College and Community Innovation Program - Innovation Enhancement grant and CFI College Industry Innovation Fund will enable the college to leverage this nascent capacity. The objective is to establish a single unified source for SMEs in the Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area to evaluate, develop, and deploy cybersecurity systems to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber attacks efficiently. The program of applied research will focus on creating prototypes and beta environments for security risks and support applied research on anomaly detection and simulations within virtual environments. This will enable SMEs to monitor their networks and endpoints for vulnerabilities, protect their sensitive data and comply with industry and government regulations. The program of applied research falls under two thematic areas: (1) support for cybersecurity companies that need to extend their capabilities to understand and address the attack surfaces of critical/essential services. Our program of applied research will examine the vulnerabilities embedded within surveillance systems used to deliver and monitor consumer services; and (2) support for companies with critical infrastructure and operations, focused on the development of new technological stacks to monitor, alert and prevent anomalous attacks faced by multisectoral SMEs. Through collaborative applied research, SMEs will have customized cybersecurity tools for their protection, and be transformed into cyber risk-aware organizations. This will increase consumer confidence in the digital economy, promote international standardization, and better positions Canadian SMEs to compete globally.

杜伦学院的多部门中小型企业 (SME) 合作伙伴已发现迫切需要支持，以应对不断升级的风险以及隐私和数据安全成本的上升。作为回应，杜伦学院于 2020 年 2 月推出了一个新的虚拟中心，即网络安全创新中心，作为提高网络安全应用研究能力计划的一部分。 NSERC 学院和社区创新计划 - 创新增强补助金和 CFI 学院产业创新基金的资助将使学院能够利用这一新生能力。 目标是为达勒姆地区和大多伦多地区的中小企业建立一个统一的来源，以评估、开发和部署网络安全系统，以有效地检测、预防和响应网络攻击。该应用研究计划将侧重于创建安全风险的原型和测试环境，并支持虚拟环境中异常检测和模拟的应用研究。这将使中小企业能够监控其网络和端点的漏洞、保护其敏感数据并遵守行业和政府法规。应用研究计划分为两个主题领域：（1）为需要扩展其能力以了解和解决关键/基本服务的攻击面的网络安全公司提供支持。我们的应用研究计划将检查用于提供和监控消费者服务的监控系统中嵌入的漏洞； (2) 支持拥有关键基础设施和运营的公司，重点开发新技术堆栈，以监控、警报和防止多部门中小企业面临的异常攻击。 通过协作应用研究，中小企业将拥有定制的网络安全工具来保护自己，并转变为具有网络风险意识的组织。这将增强消费者对数字经济的信心，促进国际标准化，并使加拿大中小企业更好地参与全球竞争。
