Tyson Mark

With nearly 30 years of experience with designing, managing and securing technology environments, Tyson advises and helps organizations align their technology strategies and cybersecurity objectives with their business goals.

Throughout his career, Tyson has fulfilled numerous technology roles with a variety of organizations, predominately in the Canadian Financial & Wealth Management sector. Notably, he designed, built, deployed and managed the national networks for both the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada.

He is an active participant with several Cybersecurity groups in the Greater Toronto Area. As a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Tyson lead the Toronto Chapter of (ISC)2, the internationally recognized organization of Cybersecurity professional accreditations, growing its membership from 500 to 1500 and organizing nearly a dozen information and networking events throughout 2019. Recently in 2022, Tyson participated in the development of a Cybersecurity Self-Assessment tool to assist small-medium sized financial institutions with evaluating and developing their security programs to better protect the Canadian investor.

Tyson considers himself extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to create long lasting connections with many of his past colleagues and especially values the ones of his staff who “started out” their careers in Technology with him and who have gone on to be successful in life, family and their own careers. Tyson is passionate about giving back to others through active participation in Mentor/Mentee relationships and freely volunteers his time to educate the most at-risk groups of technology risks and how they can stay safe online.

Tyson lives in Toronto with his wife, Catherine, and their two daughters. Tyson and Catherine are passionate beekeepers and enjoy their 64 acre property in Prince Edward County, where they are rejuvenating the land and forest.
