In an era dominated by technology, where the boundaries between physical and virtual worlds are blurred, the need for cybersecurity vigilance has never been more critical. The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is pleased to host two round table discussions: “The Global Cyberthreat Assessment: Unmasking Threat Actors’ Tactics” and “Navigating the Landscape of Local Cyberthreats.” Bringing together experts from local academia, industry and government, the conversations will seek to understand challenges, identify opportunities and inspire solutions for stronger cybersecurity resilience. As Waterloo region grapples with recent cyber incidents, notably those targeting our educational institutions, it is imperative that we remain alert. These incidents are escalating, now posing a direct threat to our critical infrastructure without warning, and the potential fallout could be severe unless we are adequately prepared.
