Patrick Côté

Manager of Cybersecurity at Victrix

As a cybersecurity leader at Victrix, Patrick oversees the SEvOC, the company’s managed security operations center in Quebec, along with key security products and strategic projects. With over twenty years in IT and cybersecurity and more than a decade in management since 2012, he has evolved from hands‑on technical roles to leading complex, mission‑critical security operations for diverse clients. Earlier in his career, Patrick developed a deep, practical understanding of enterprise infrastructure through advanced work on Citrix platforms, where success depended on mastering how applications, identities, data, and networks interact in real environments. This end‑to‑end view of systems now underpins his approach to security operations design and to integrating automation and artificial intelligence into SOC processes to enhance detection, response, and efficiency. Known for a pragmatic, direct, and human leadership style, he emphasizes measurable outcomes, continuous improvement, and mentorship, fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation within the SEvOC and across Victrix’s cybersecurity offerings.
