It all started when Engineering PhD student Alhassan Khedr was conducting his doctoral research at the University of Toronto on the performance acceleration of advanced data encryption. Seeing the great potential to help organizations across sectors leverage the full potential of their data with world-class cybersecurity and privacy solutions—Lorica Cybersecurity was formed. With Khedr as the CTO and his supervisor, Glenn Gulak as CEO, this partnership is bringing game-changing cybersecurity technology to the market for the benefit of organizations and entire industries. 

Today, Lorica’s team of experts are taking that initial research work to the next level—evolving and innovating a world-class patent portfolio that discreetly delivers cybersecurity solutions with encrypted analytics to a roster of diverse clients including government agencies and Fortune 500 companies across North America. Every day, Lorica helps protect the world’s most sensitive data and valuable digital assets from increasingly frequent data exposure events caused by malicious actors, insider threats or simple human error.   

We are proud of our strong client partnerships and the data protected to date. While we remain focused on research and innovation to help enhance and future-proof our existing solutions—we aren’t stopping there. The Lorica team is also working tirelessly to develop additional products and solutions so more opportunities are available for organizations to safely leverage their data, at the scale and speed they need.
