Get to know us

Cyber Security Global Alliance (CSGA) was originally founded by James Castle (Executive Director), Dr. Chris Golden PhD (Chief Information Security Officer), Michael Roncon (Chief Training Officer) and Anita Garitty (Corporate Sales) on April 13th, 2021. Opened during Covid-19 as a Canadian Federally Registered Non-Profit Membership Based Organization which had been designed to help SMEs during the global pandemic to bring companies and resources together. Aiding through Unity our organization grew quickly becoming the worlds largest cyber defense hub in the 2nd quarter of 2023. Our services were designed to operate remotely in a collapsing economy allowing companies to grow during the global pandemic.

Our feats proved to become highly successful. By mid-2022, our organization became an accredited platinum training partner under the Linux Training Institute (LTI) and as a Microsoft Partner. CSGA during 2022, opened cybersecurity and cyber awareness training programs and services to people locally and abroad, offering a languages software solution to multi-lingual people with 104 available languages.

In February 2024, CSGA became the cyber service arm for CSR5 Global, that will be entering into their soft launch at the Toronto Tech Fest on May 22nd, 2024; and will be doing their full launch at Collision Toronto between June 17th to June 20th, 2024. CSR5 GLOBAL is revolutionizing the way businesses tackle cyber threats in an increasingly complex landscape.

With cybercrime expected to cause $600 billion in losses this year alone, our innovative strategy integrates pre- and post-attack phases into one cohesive framework, significantly reducing the chances of a successful breach. Our unique software, backed by strategic partnerships, targets a wide range of cyber threats, while our network of specialists ensures rapid recovery in case of an attack. Our subscription model offers comprehensive services at an affordable rate of $500 per month for up to 10 users, including advanced ransomware protection. As we prepare to launch in early Q3, we're offering an early adopter discount: 50% off the subscription fee for the first year.

Is CSR5 GLOBAL the solution you need to combat 21st-century cyber threats?

CSR5 Global will be a high interest earner that will allow organization to thrive with people, companies, corporations, governments and the military alike. Today, CSGA has over 50 board advisory members consisting of senior executives, operations and advisors globally. CSR5 Global's CEO, Dr. Chris Golden PhD, is a former US Airforce Colonel, who was helped the US Department of Defense to create their Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program 1.0 that is now growing into the true cyber standard that the world is slowly recognizing. Chris Golden has a PhD in Cybersecurity and Blockchain. He has developed a new cutting-edge national supply chain security program that takes aim at building critical infrastructure for countries and their governments outside the United States of America; and he is the Chief Information Security Officer and one of our Co-Founders for Cyber Security Global Alliance.
