The governments of Canada and Quebec are financing a Gatineau-based firm in hopes of fending off the next generation of cyber attacks.
Cybersecurity firm Crypto4A Technologies will receive roughly $322,000 in repayable grants from the feds and $190,000 in financial assistance from the Quebec government, cobbled together from a variety of funding programs. The more than $500,000 in financing will help the Gatineau-based enterprise take the firm’s product to international markets.
Crypto4A develops security products using cryptographic techniques to resist cyber attacks. The firm counts Ottawa’s Capital Angel Network as an early-stage investor.
