Canada has an extensive range of research centres, food incubators, accelerators and labs supporting food and beverage innovation through the research they do and/or the services they offer. Each week throughout 2023, we’ll be highlighting an organization that’s supporting food innovation in Canada.

It offers free cyber defence tools such Assemblyline, a malware detection and analysis tool, the CyberSecurity Audit Program to assess an organization’s cyber security status, and the Harmonized Threat and Risk Assessment Methodology, which is designed to address assets, employees, and services at risk in a business. It also offers a glossary of terms you should know when it comes to cybersecurity.
