The current pace of digital acceleration creates new opportunities for organizations to deliver value through increasingly sophisticated ecosystems. It also intensifies the potential for cybersecurity risks and the need to mitigate them. In fact, cybersecurity was the top industry trend cited in our latest CGI Voice of Our Clients research. 

For decades, CGI consultants have helped clients assess, design and build holistic cybersecurity strategies with the agility to meet fast-evolving digital risks. We’re proud to be recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Systems Integrators/Consultancies for Cybersecurity Consulting Services 2024 Vendor Assessment.

The IDC MarketScape report notes, “CGI considers its Management Foundation (which aligns CGI's operations through common principles, processes, and frameworks to deliver quality at scale) its primary IP and starting point for executing security internally and externally for clients. One of these common principles is the security and data privacy are "baked-in" and not "bolted-on." 
 

“Managing security risks in an increasingly connected and open business world demands an insights-driven and integrated security approach that extends across the enterprise and ecosystem. We work with clients to assess, design and build what it takes to operate confidently and transform at pace. We believe the strong consulting services we bring to our clients are a key differentiator in our leading cybersecurity capabilities.”
