Canadian Cybersecurity Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2023

The research firm attributes this expected growth to “the increasing adoption of enterprise security solutions’ in key industries including manufacturing, banking, financial services, insurance and healthcare.

Because of this outlook, the Canadian government is increasing its investment in cybersecurity. For example, it has launched the Cyber Security Innovation Network program, which includes C$80 million in investment over four years. “A strong cybersecurity sector will cement Canadians’ trust in the digital economy,” a press release states.
