Ontario Cybersecurity Higher Education Consortium:
Collaboration and Community-Driven Cybersecurity
ORION recognizes that today’s dynamic higher education environment demands a proactive approach to cybersecurity. Rising cyber threats, budget constraints, limited cybersecurity talent, and organizational complexities make it difficult for many institutions to adequately secure their environments.
The Ontario Cybersecurity Higher Education Consortium (ON-CHEC) addresses these challenges head-on by offering cost-effective guidance, programs, and shared tools. Through active collaboration, security leaders gain timely insights and the resources they need to navigate evolving risks and maintain business continuity.
Built as a consortium of Ontario colleges and universities supported by ORION, this service offers tiered membership levels designed to match diverse needs and budgets – making expert security support accessible to institutions of all sizes.
Through community-driven knowledge sharing and delivering tailored advisory services, ON-CHEC empowers members to enhance risk awareness, strengthen incident readiness, and collaboratively raise the collective cybersecurity posture of higher education. From the fair and accessible pricing model to the co-created frameworks and shared solutions, our approach is grounded in helping each member safeguard their institution while supporting the security of the broader community.
