The funding is broken down to:
- $10 million from FedDev to deliver training and certification programming
- $10 million from Rogers Communications to facilitate programs to educate business leaders on cybersecurity
- $5 million from RBC to support cybersecurity training

The centre will gather leaders from industry, academia and the government to develop strategies in an open collaboration environment. It hopes to seize opportunities in relation to cybersecurity.
