In today’s increasingly competitive geopolitical environment, national security, economic prosperity, and Canada’s innovative future are closely entwined. Canadian research and innovation, including the digital technology segment, is quickly becoming a target of hostile activity, and a collaborative public-private approach is required to increase national resilience against this threat.

In our 60-minute talk, we will discuss how to integrate proper mitigation measures to ensure safety against a variety of threat vectors. Empower your organization by taking action to enhance your cybersecurity posture.

We will look at how:

• the exploitation of digital technological advances negatively affects Canada’s economic prosperity, policies, and dual-use military/surveillance applications
• taking steps to increase cyber security can strengthen your competitive advantage and contribute to an enhanced national cyber posture
• organizations and individuals specializing in research and innovation can take security measures to protect themselves and their intellectual property
• organizations can take steps to address these threats through training and certification programs, including the newly launched CyberSecure Canada certification program.
