A local government centrally manages and operates hydro and water operations for its constituents. In light of the recent attacks in North America, the IT team would like to proactively detect and respond to suspicious activity. However, given the detrimental costs of false positives, the team is unsure of how AI-driven models can action threat intelligence accurately. How can you help with the adoption of a new tool?

There is growing concern that critical infrastructure, such as energy and utilities, may be a target for disruption and/or espionage. In addition to establishing a plan to detect and manage insider threats, a series of activities need to be considered to ensure organizational preparedness and response. What steps should organizations/institutions take to build cyber resilience?

Without any prior warning, a local hydro facility has experienced a shutdown - all IT systems are locked with limited to no access to any control panels. You are now tasked with mitigating against any damage but also determining a path to system restoration. The integrity of the plant and community is in your hands.

Insider threat: Often, the greatest cyber-threat to an organization is not malware or cyber-criminal gangs, but instead trusted insiders with access to sensitive data and systems. Whether it’s an employee with malicious intent, or simply a misconfiguration, insiders can pose a serious threat to organizations.

With mounting cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure such as oil & gas industries, banking and healthcare platforms, are service providers prepared to react to the national warning against quantum attacks by adopting the next generation encryption protocols?

Cloud Inequity: The divide between the haves and the have nots in modern business infastructure. All businesses rely on a web presence- cloud inequity keeps the access to critical resources in the hands of the few

Many of the recent cyber attacks have utilized legitimate resources such as common applications or existing file objects as their initial entry point when targeting organizations with evolved tactics and techniques. Education is specifically susceptible to this type of entry point since both students and faculty bring devices from the outside and connect to the school network. It is also very common to use a significant number of unregulated applications. Document sharing and documents existing in both the private and public environment is also a challenge for educational entities. In several incidents a student has downloaded a vulnerable application to their personal device and become compromised, to worsen the matter they have connected their compromised device to the school network and transferred files to their teacher. To make matters exponentially worse in at least one of the cases the teacher then published the infected documents on a public drive for other students to access causing lateral movement. How can we prevent this from happening again?

With the evolving nature of cyber threats, today's cybersecurity leaders need to proactively prepare themselves. In this session, we explore what leadership traits successful cybersecurity leaders embody and learn how Phelps Cybersecurity is preparing leaders across Canada.
