About The Human-Centric Cybersecurity Partnership

The Human-Centric Cybersecurity Partnership (HC2P) leverages a transdisciplinary group of scholars, government, industry and not-for-profit partners to generate research and mobilize knowledge that will help create a safer, more secure, more democratic and more inclusive digital society. A broad and increasing range of online harms are undermining the benefits that derive from our easy access to the internet. From election interferences to massive data breaches affecting millions of consumers, and from destructive cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructures to phishing emails landing daily in Canadians' inboxes, not a day goes by without media headlines highlighting the perils of digital technologies. The HC2 Partnership argues that cybersecurity should not be seen as an exclusively technical problem anymore, but as a social problem that needs human-centred solutions. Its research program will explore the two defining features of human-centric cybersecurity: the complex interactions between humans and machines, one one hand, and the new configurations of public, private and not-for-profit stakeholders, on the other hand.
