Cybersecurity

Helping to keep society safe in a digital world

Cybersecurity is a truly global phenomenon that no longer is just an IT issue. Governments and corporations need to understand the possible risks to public safety or their business and how to keep ahead of threats. Citizens and customers want assurance that their personal data is secure. With cyber attacks reported daily, executives recognize that hard-earned trust can vanish with a single incident.

In government, no margin of error regarding public safety is acceptable. In the private sector, maximizing investments and balancing risk and costs are imperatives. In both sectors, organizations need IT partners with the insight, foresight and capabilities to anticipate cyber attacks and take decisive action when they do occur.

A cybersecurity partner you can trust

At CGI, security is part of everything we do. For more than 35 years, we have helped clients manage complex security needs from audit and compliance requirements to policy and architecture, with a business-focused approach. We work with leading corporations in six industries and governments in the U.S and Canada as well as across Europe. As a result, we understand security from all angles—technology, business and legal—and have a 360 degree view of global and local threats in both the public and private sectors.

We help our clients to protect their business by assessing and analyzing the potential cyber risks, continuously monitoring for threats in real-time and putting in place the necessary defenses. Our end-to-end information security offerings include consulting, security engineering and managed security services. We cover both governance, risk and compliance and data risk management , as well as infrastructure protection. We also provide identity and access management solutions including biometrics, as well as cloud security and mobile security expertise.

We have invested heavily in establishing our credentials, working closely with international security associations and standards bodies. We are one of the few providers worldwide with three accredited security certification facilities—located in Canada, the U.S. and the UK—including our world-class CGI Federal Cyber Innovation Lab. Our nine Security Operations Centers continuously identify and deploy the best solutions to maintain a state-of-the-art infrastructure, handling over 70 million cyber events a day.

Whether serving the public or growing the business, CGI gives clients the peace of mind to focus on what's most important—protecting citizens and customers and operating with confidence.
