Through the RIG, 14 research-intensive universities and CANARIE invest (financially and through ongoing consultations) in pilot projects that have the potential to advance to national shared services, including cost model options for sustained funding.
Successful pilots include Dark Web Monitoring, now integrated into the Threat Feed service and available to the whole sector.
Current Pilots
- Honeypots: an affordable, scalable, and easily implementable platform for adding distributed detection of attackers using a distributed honeypot service, with centralized controls to aggregate threat intelligence.
- Third Party Risk Management: a centralized process for evaluating third-party risk, integrating with institutions’ existing software acquisition and threat risk assessment processes
- Phishing: an approach to collaborating on detecting and blocking phishing campaigns faster through cross community sharing.
- InfoSec Resource Sharing: a national, shared SecOps document library to reduce duplication and strengthen cybersecurity readiness across Canada’s research and education sector.
