Curtis Blais is on a mission to simplify cybersecurity. As Cybera’s shared Chief Information Security Officer, he has authored the annual report on higher education’s cybersecurity posture for the past three years — a trusted snapshot of progress and challenges across the country.
He also contributed to the Canadian Cybersecurity Network’s 2025 Cybertowns Report, authoring the Edmonton section, and his insights have been published by the Financial Post. His career spans government, private enterprise, and non‑profit leadership, complemented by a master’s in leadership and organizational change and top‑of‑cohort completion of Harvard’s Cyber Risk Management program. In 2024, he published CyberDynamX – The Art and Science of Building a Simplified Digital Security Program, distilling complex ideas into practical steps.
Curtis’s philosophy is simple: cybersecurity should never be a barrier — it should be an enabler of trust, innovation, and human connection.
