Hosted by Jean-Michel Vanasse, journalist and host of the French-language show Planète Techno, this event will provide a comprehensive overview of cybersecurity with more than 20 presentations from prominent experts. They’ll make the connection between the current context and security, from actual threats to the various lines of defense available.

A Canadian Vision for Digital Identity - Joni Brennan, President of CCIAN (Canadian Council for Digital Identity and Authentication)
In the push to digital transformation Digital Identity is a foundational building block that must be addressed. Digital Identity must work for governments and businesses from all sectors. Educators and accreditors wrestle with the implications of what digital identities and credentials will mean when they are used across the economy and through different networks for identity information verification. Today, the ecosystem of trust is active and involves the financial institutions and certain orders of government, but the rapidly evolving world requires transactions to move much faster, with more security, and with data protections. The challenges are complex and the implications will reach each and everyone of us. This session will share experiences from Canada's public and private collaboration to deliver digital identity that works for the benefit of all Canadians.
