Cyber Security & Risk Management Roadshow

In the past two years, cyber security has emerged as a prominent concern for Canadians, with frequent headlines highlighting ransomware incidents both domestically and internationally. The disruption caused by these incidents extends to critical services such as hospitals, schools, municipalities, and utility providers. Moreover, personal, and financial data are being compromised, traded, or leaked online, while online platforms witness an influx of false information and divisive rhetoric.

As technology continues to advance rapidly, cyber threats also evolve in tandem. Canadians rely on the Internet for various activities, including financial transactions, social connections, medical appointments, and work-related tasks. Consequently, the expanding online presence of Canadians creates a greater potential for cyber threats to impact their daily lives. With an increasing amount of personal, business, and financial data accessible online, it becomes an attractive target for cyber threat actors. The interconnectedness of critical systems with the Internet further escalates the risk of service disruptions caused by cyber threats. Additionally, nation-states and cybercriminals continually enhance their cyber capabilities, heightening the likelihood of Canadian individuals and entities being affected by state-sponsored or financially motivated cyber threat activity.

The Cyber Security & Risk Management Roadshow 2023 aims to gather senior government Security executives, fostering discussions on how the Canadian government can effectively address the security needs of its citizens while capitalizing on the opportunities presented by the digital economy. The goal is to be prepared to Act, Adapt, and React Cyber-Threats.
