On Monday 13 July 2026, the Luxembourg House of Cybersecurity (LHC) announced the signing of a cooperation agreement with Quebec's Ministry of Cybersecurity and Digital Affairs (MCN) to strengthen collaboration in cybersecurity and digital resilience.

Signed by LHC CEO Pascal Steichen and Quebec's Minister of Cybersecurity and Digital Affairs and President of the Treasury Board, France-Élaine Duranceau, the agreement provides for the joint use and development of cybersecurity solutions. These include the MISP platform for sharing cyber threat intelligence, the GCVE.eu initiative for identifying software vulnerabilities and tools for detecting and monitoring activity on the dark web.

As part of the agreement, the MCN will also share Raoul, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed by the ministry to rapidly identify vulnerabilities and detect coding errors on government websites.

According to the partners, the agreement brings together two jurisdictions recognised for their expertise in cybersecurity. Quebec became the first jurisdiction in North America to establish a dedicated ministry combining cybersecurity and digital affairs, while Luxembourg has developed internationally recognised expertise in cyber threat intelligence sharing. The collaboration is expected to accelerate innovation, research and support for local cybersecurity communities on both sides of the Atlantic.

The agreement also supports the priorities of both partners. For Quebec, it contributes to the objectives of its 2024-2028 Government Cybersecurity and Digital Strategy, particularly strengthening the government's capacity to monitor cyber threats, vulnerabilities and incidents. For Luxembourg, which is preparing to publish the fifth edition of its National Cybersecurity Strategy, it reinforces the country's commitment to expanding international cooperation with partners pursuing similar cybersecurity objectives.

The partners underlined that the MCN and the Luxembourg House of Cybersecurity have cooperated since 2023. As part of that collaboration, the LHC sponsored Quebec's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-QC) to become a member of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). The agreement does not involve any financial commitment.
