Cyber Summit 2021 has ended
With this year’s Summit taking place 20 months after COVID-19 hit North America, it seems fitting to look at how our ecosystem is moving to the "new normal".

We know this pandemic has led to a rapid acceleration of the use of digital technologies for remote learning and working. Combined with the advances in automation, and AI, the ways we interact with each other and our economy are changing. As we return to a post-pandemic world, it will be one that is forever changed. The question now is: what practices will be different, what will stay the same, and how will our lives improve as we adapt to the "new normal"?​​​​

Cybersecurity and data-related crimes are nothing new in the IT landscape, but with the rise of machine learning and more savvy attackers, issues like phishing attempts and ransomware are also increasing. These problems are costing Canada’s public and private sectors billions of dollars.

Whether you work for a small organization with under 1,000 full time employees and students, or a large institution with over 10,000 daily users, everyone faces the same risk. 

In this workshop, we will bring together cybersecurity experts from post-secondary institutions across Western Canada to provide an overview of how Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is being leveraged to protect their staff and students. They will talk about their approaches to implementation, including building buy-in and adoption across their institutions. 

We will end this workshop with an “ask me anything” session. The goal of this event is to explore how we can better support each other as we all work to implement MFA in our respective organizations.
