CyberQuebec

What CyberQuebec does

CyberQuébec is a College Center for Technology Transfer (CCTT) integrated with Cégep de l'Outaouais in Gatineau, Quebec, and a member of the Synchronex (Réseau des CCTT) network. Founded in 2018, the organization delivers cybersecurity services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Quebec, structured around four service modules: personalized security assessments and compliance support (including Loi 25, SOC 2, and ISO 27001), customized employee training, applied cybersecurity research and development, and subsidies assistance that can reduce client service costs by up to 90% through CCTT funding mechanisms.

The technical centerpiece is the Cyber Range, an isolated virtualization infrastructure that enables deployment of virtual networks and computer workstations for cybersecurity training, simulation, and assessment in a sandboxed environment disconnected from institutional networks. The platform is delivered as a managed service with fixed, predictable costs positioned below cloud alternatives, and in 2024 it supported approximately 3,900 virtual computers across 13 Quebec post-secondary institutions, training more than 520 students via 52 participating teachers.

Commercially, CyberQuébec operates a sales-led go-to-market motion: direct outreach through its website, email, and phone to Quebec SME owners, supplemented by referrals from the Synchronex CCTT network and partner Cégeps. Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements, with multi-year subsidized contracts enabled by the organization's public-sector CCTT status. The company's geographic scope is Quebec, with Canada listed as an operating geography, and it has a headcount of 1-10 employees with no disclosed management team, funding history, or financial figures.

Core offering

CyberQuébec provides personalized cybersecurity consulting, security assessments, compliance support, customized employee training, and research and development services to small and medium enterprises in Quebec. At the center of its offering is the Cyber Range, a proprietary isolated virtualization platform used to deploy and manage virtual networks and computer workstations for cybersecurity training, simulations, and lab work. As a CCTT, the firm can pass through government subsidies that reduce client service costs by up to 90%.

Product overview

CyberQuébec operates as a College Center for Technology Transfer (CCTT) affiliated with Cégep de l'Outaouais, offering a portfolio of cybersecurity services rather than a unified software product. The core offering is the Cyber Range, a virtualization infrastructure platform for cybersecurity education and training. Around this platform, the organization provides four complementary service modules: Personalized Support (security assessments and compliance assistance), Customized Training (employee education programs), Research and Development (cybersecurity solution development), and Subsidies Assistance (funding support up to 90%). Together, these services form a comprehensive ecosystem designed to make cybersecurity accessible and affordable for SMEs.
