OTTAWA, October 15, 2025 – Calian Group Ltd. (TSX: CGY), a trusted provider of mission-critical solutions, is supporting a three-year contract with the Ottawa International Airport Authority (OIAA) to implement and manage their cyber-focused Security Operations Centre (SOC), a centralized digital command centre for real-time security monitoring in response to their growing digital needs.

Airport authorities are important operators in the airport ecosystem. Given modern airports depend on complex digital systems, cybersecurity is increasingly important to their operations.

“As airports become more digitally integrated, the importance of securing both our physical and virtual environments has never been greater,” said Susan Margles, President and CEO, Ottawa International Airport Authority. “This initiative represents a critical enhancement to our strategy to proactively protect passengers, staff and infrastructure. Adopting Calian's managed SOC allows us to leverage their operational expertise and threat intelligence to enhance our own capabilities and enable rapid incident response.”

This agreement marks the next step in a strong, ongoing partnership between the two organizations. After successfully completing an IT modernization project together, OIAA is now shifting its focus from infrastructure upgrades to leveraging best-of-breed systems to strengthen network security and support future growth.

“Our customers turn to us because they need more than just technology—they need a partner who deeply understands their challenges and can provide 24x7x365 end-to-end monitoring with no blind spots,” said Michael Muldner, Chief Information and Technology Officer, Calian. “Every SOC we implement is tailored to provide expert-driven, proactive, seamless protection, so our clients can focus on driving their business with total confidence in knowing their security is always one step ahead, safeguarding their future.”
