About US

Built on Collaboration and Credibility in Cyber Security

Founded in 2017 by leaders from Canada’s largest corporations, the Canadian Cyber Threat Exchange (CCTX) was established to address a critical need: strengthening cyber resilience in Canada.

The CCTX serves as Canada’s only hub for cross-sector collaboration for Canadian businesses and organizations. The CCTX’s unique membership includes organizations of all sizes and from all sectors. Our focus is on providing actionable cyber threat intelligence with a uniquely Canadian perspective, informed by a global outlook.

At the CCTX, we create a trusted space for sharing intelligence, insights, and strategies that empower organizations to collectively tackle evolving cybersecurity challenges. Our members benefit from an automated intelligence feed, threat calls, symposiums, message boards, secure e-mail, and reports, all enriched by diverse inputs. This contextually rich data enhances decision-making and preparedness against cyber threats. Our collaborative approach to sharing best practices and information on the latest threats ensures that our members are well-equipped to improve their cyber resilience. Learning from each other, having a trusted group to discuss challenges, sharing experiences—this is how our members expand their capability and improve their cyber posture leading to improved resilience and reduced financial, operational, and reputational risk.

Join the CCTX and become part of an impactful initiative dedicated to safeguarding Canada’s digital landscape. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient cyber future.

Our Mission

The CCTX enables members to collaborate in reducing financial, operational, and reputational risk by providing timely, relevant, and actionable cyber threat information.

"This is an exciting opportunity to help build cyber resilience across the entire supply chain, strengthening small and medium organizations, and ultimately large enterprise as well. Supporting the overall cyber ecosystem, enabling Canadian businesses to build cyber awareness and resilience, these are fundamental to the purpose and role of the CCTX."
