Event Overview
Enabling Innovation: Build Resiliency. Manage Risk. Secure the Future
Digital technologies are now an integral part of our daily lives, with new developments emerging daily. As we embrace digital technologies for their tremendous benefits, we can open ourselves up to threats. Criminals and other malicious cyber threat actors take advantage of security gaps, low cyber security awareness, and technological developments to compromise cyber systems. They steal personal and financial information, intellectual property, and citizen data. They disrupt and sometimes destroy the infrastructure that we rely on for essential services and our way of life.
Public Sector Network’s Cyber Security & Risk Management National Insights – Spring Edition will share strategies to protect Canadians from cybercrime, respond to evolving threats, and defend critical government systems. The government thought leaders will discuss their approach to cyber design and resilience. The event will highlight case studies and provoke conversation to help you guide your organization to a more innovative, more secure cyber future.

Privacy in a Cloud First Era
With 58% of data breaches in 2020 involved personal data, Privacy is top of mind for organizations and consumers today, and concerns about how private data is handled are steadily increasing. Legislation across the globe are responding to such concerns, resulting in the data privacy regulation landscape that is more complex than ever. With increasing complexities and changes in the regulatory landscape, organizations must ensure privacy remains central to their business. To do so organizations are looking to support educating and empowering employees to make privacy compliant decisions, driving policy awareness and automating these policies to improve productivity and reduce costs.
Join us for this session as we aim to simplify some of the complexity around data privacy and explore safeguarding personal data and building a privacy resilient workplace.
