Cord3 is a relatively young company, but its cyber security roots run deep. The company was founded to commercialize technology that some of the principal people in the Cord3 have been working on for over a decade.

The technology dimension of the company was initiated through visionary requirements set by Canada`s Department of National Defence (DND).

Those requirements focused on strongly protecting data against cyber attacks under the assumptions that network perimeters would eventually disappear and, like it or not, unfriendly actors would be present inside networks looking to access sensitive data.
