“The CGI team is passionate about the mission of cybersecurity and proud to be recognized amongst our peers,” said Gary Miller, CGI’s Vice-President of Cybersecurity in Canada. “For more than 20 years, we’ve continued to innovate, evolve and meet the cyber challenges of the Canadian market, delivering the most appropriate and effective cybersecurity solutions.
