Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum is one of 12 historic places across Canada vying for $50,000 in contest

The Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum is competing in a contest for $65,000 to fund an archival center project, highlighting potential security risks in underfunded cultural institutions. If successful, the funding could mitigate vulnerabilities arising from outdated IT systems or lack of cybersecurity measures. The contest itself does not pose a direct cybersecurity threat, but the underlying infrastructure of the museum may be at risk.

The Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum is one of 12 historic places across Canada up for $65,000 in cash prizes that could help the museum turn its founder's house into an archival centre.
