Online: Wednesday, November 16, 2022 | Time: 12:00-2:00pm ET / 9:00-11:00am PT

Event Overview

Protect Your Organization Against Growing Cyber Threats

Over this past year, Canada has seen a growing threat sophistication of cyber warfare targeting Canadian public sector organizations. The goal of perpetrators has transformed from financial gains to destroying data, IT infrastructure, and disruption of operational processes within an organization. Organizations are further jeopardizing themselves as they allow employees to use their personal devices for work.

The internal and external risk continues to grow at an alarming pace, whereas change, adaptation, and solutions are falling behind. Understanding the cyber security landscape and its emerging threats is the first step in building a strategy that can protect your organization.

Public Sector Network’s Cyber Security and Risk Management Fall Edition Virtual Event will highlight the most prominent threats, challenges, and strategies from leaders to better protect your organization, your data, and your citizens. Join your public sector peers in defending against cyber criminals!
