Cybereco Knowledge Center
Cybersecurity knowledge, accessible and actionable
The Cybereco Knowledge Center is a central platform for accessing reliable, up-to-date and practical cybersecurity content. Whether it’s publications, tools, training or best practices, this center aims to support professionals, organizations and the general public in strengthening their digital security skills and posture.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION: The Knowledge Center is currently being refurbished. We're dusting off, sorting, labeling... in short, we're preparing a clear, practical and (almost) zen space for you to explore all we have to share in cybersecurity. Come back soon, it'll be worth the detour!

Cybertalents
As part of the Cybertalent project, Cybereco presents a series of video clips to present the different careers and backgrounds of professionals in the field of cybersecurity. From ethical hackers to BISO (Business Information Security Officers), the profiles presented in these videos are varied and inspiring. They highlight the diversity of skills, backgrounds, and passions that drive the world of cybersecurity.
Each capsule offers a unique insight into one professional’s journey, the challenges he or she faces, and advice for those wishing to follow a similar path. So, whether you’re a curious student, a retraining professional or simply passionate about technology, these capsules are designed to enlighten and inspire you.
Cyberinclusive
Cybereco has started an initiative to increase the visibility of women and other communities in the field of cyber security. It has two components: attraction and awareness of talent from these groups. It includes a mentoring programme and a round table aimed at women, as well as activities aimed at other communities organised in partnership with other organisations working with the targeted communities.
Mentorship Program for Women in Cyber
Launched at the Cyberconference 2022, Cybereco’s Women in Cyber Mentorship Program is an opportunity for women working in the field of cybersecurity in Quebec to develop their professional network, increase their knowledge and hone their leadership skills. The mentorship program aims to support and promote women in cybersecurity and to empower the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
This program is open to female students (CEGEP, University) and early career professionals in cybersecurity and related fields who wish to take advantage of this opportunity to be mentored by an experienced professional in order to learn more about the field and increase their professional network.
