With the pivotal role digital technology plays in our lives and the unprecedented speed at which information moves, cybersecurity has become a top priority for all major organizations.

I’m especially sensitive to the challenges and viewpoints of the digital industry, having worked in the field of information technology in the past. For Loto-Québec, this partnership is a tangible way of supporting research to find solutions to cyberthreats, particularly those that arise from progress in quantum computing,” says Jean-François Bergeron, President and Chief Executive Officer at Loto-Québec.
Professor Marc Frappier, a renowned cybersecurity expert, leads the expertise centre, which will play a vital role in developing new approaches to protecting Québec companies, public or private, against current and future threats. Its work will directly benefit many companies and society in general.
