The cyber security posture of Canadian businesses is in a word “precarious”. Another word maybe “Inadequate”. Although the Canadian government and provincial resources have been increased these resources are largely inadequate to protect business and organizations from the ravages of cybercriminals who conduct fraud, ransomware, and data extortion cyberattacks. Join Ian Thornton-Trump CD, CISO for Cyjax, UK & CTO for Octopi Managed Services , Canada as he brings stories from the frontlines of cyber-criminal attacks and Advanced Persistent Treat actors attacks on Canadian institutions. We will review the recent law enforcement victories. There have been some dynamic changes in the cyber-criminal underground, as well as the cyber security compliance landscape. This session will bring technical and non-technical attendees the latest information to defend themselves and their organizations against the next generation of cyber-attacks.
