Geopolitical Tensions and Cybersecurity: Strategic Insights for Canadian organizations
In today’s interconnected world, geopolitical tensions and cybersecurity are closely linked, with
nation-states increasingly using cyberattacks to target critical infrastructure, governments, and

services and cause significant economic and social harm. Join us for a presentation to explore
how these geopolitical tensions impact the cybersecurity of Canadian organizations and what
they can do to prepare for these evolving threats. This session offers key insights for IT security
leaders on staying proactive against international cyber risks.
