SUMMARY:ACENET and the Power of Scientific Visualization
DESCRIPTION:We all know the advantages of a bar chart instead of a table full of numbers. The bigger your dataset\, the greater the value of seeing it visually and being able to pinpoint both broad and specific critical areas for decisions. Scientific visualization of large datasets can be applied across a number of areas\, including engineering\, material science\, sensor/drone data\, geospatial\, and life sciences. Join them at this session to learn about powering up innovation with supercomputing\, and using scientific visualization to make better decisions. There are no prerequisites and no technical knowledge is needed. This session is aimed at mid to senior level managers with R&D technology responsibilities\, and R&D engineering or scientific staff with no scientific visualization experience. The webinar is a precursor to the Interactive Data Analysis & Visualization with Paraview workshop below.

SUMMARY:Crouching Admin\, Hidden Hacker: Privileged Access & the Unnoticed Masters | Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Crouching Admin\, Hidden Hacker: Privileged Access & the Unnoticed Masters Part 2 \nAre there cyberattacks that are effective\, reliable\, and almost always work? Of course!

There is always a hidden hacker waiting to strike! \nIn this webinar with hacker\, pen tester\, Enterprise Security MVP and cybersecurity expert\, Paula Januszkiewicz\, learn: \n\nWhat are the biggest mistakes people make in multi-cloud and infrastructure security?\nCan moving to the Cloud help diminish the risk of a cyber breach? And how can you measure its effectiveness?\nHow do hackers exploit misconfigurations to gain privileged access to accounts?\nHow to protect against ransomware\, malware\, APTs\, and even malicious insiders with a Zero Trust approach to security.\n\nLeave this webinar with world-class tips on how to attain the next level of security in your workplace…no crouching admin necessary.

SUMMARY:A More Sustainable Future: Achieving Net Zero Together
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is the single greatest challenge of our time. With Canada’s climate warming twice as fast as the global average\, catastrophic events such as heat waves\, wildfires and floods are costing billions and putting communities and people at risk. \nThe steps needed to reduce climate risk require transition and adaptation plans which are already well underway. To avert the worst impacts of climate change\, the Government of Canada has set an ambitious climate target of 40-45% emissions reductions by 2030 and is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. \nPublic sector organizations in Canada and around the world are responding to sustainability challenges with digital and data solutions\, AI\, hybrid cloud\, and ecosystem partnerships. But it’s not just about the data or the technology. It’s about being a catalyst for change\, making the world better one community at a time. \nJoin them as their sponsor IBM together with senior stakeholders from the federal government discuss what it will take to achieve net zero and how together we can make that happen (e.g. sustainable procurement; Canada’s Net Zero Challenge).

SUMMARY:Better Together: Security Insights from IT/OT Convergence
DESCRIPTION:For many years IT (information technology) networks have operated independently of OT (operational technology) networks. But digital transformation and the cloud drove convergence of the two as OT networks were connected to other networks and (ultimately) to the Internet. \nWhile this convergence brings new opportunities\, it has also fostered a need for IT and OT teams to work together to ensure operations are protected and available. In a world where bad guys can search for misconfigured or vulnerable OT infrastructure using technologies like Shodan\, the OT side of the house can represent both tempting targets and a pathway into the organization for lateral movement. \nIn this session hosted by BeyondTrust\, Diana Kelley will take a look at the differences between IT and OT and at the important characteristics that are shared across both. Rather than being at odds with each other\, IT and OT teams can be better together. \nTopics to be discussed: \n\nWhy availability is so important in an OT environment\nHow segmentation in OT differs from IT\nNeed for on-premise OT security controls\nReal world examples of IT/OT security team collaboration

SUMMARY:Barriers & challenges facing the 2SLGBTQ+ community in the tech industry
DESCRIPTION:Creating an open and inclusive work environment that attracts and retains diverse talent has never been more essential to remain competitive. 2SLGBTQ+ people working in markets across Canada experience various workplace cultures and barriers to inclusion unique to this population. Despite progress toward wholly inclusive and diverse workplace environments\, more must be done regarding stigmatization\, higher risk of harassment\, intersectionality\, and lack of visibility\, especially for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) people. This webinar aims to increase awareness and understanding of the challenges and barriers facing members of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities in the workplace and to provide practical steps for creating more inclusive and supportive work environments. \n3 Key Takeaways.. \n\nThe term ‘Pride’ represents a way of embracing one’s identity\, turning away from shame\, and honoring diversity.\nMany individuals who experience discrimination based on their sexual orientation\, race\, religion\, or ethnicity are forced to mask their true selves on a daily basis. This can drain their energy and limit their potential in the workplace.\nAllyship is crucial. This means engaging with local communities and taking action\, such as normalizing the use of pronouns at work\, offering gender-affirming healthcare benefits\, and reviewing policies to ensure they’re inclusive for everyone. \n\nMeet your Presenter… \n\nSara Velimirovic is a speaker\, activist\, and Partnerships Manager at QueerTech\, a Montreal-based nonprofit organization that promotes diversity and inclusivity within the Canadian tech industry. Sara was born and raised in Belgrade and later moved to Paris to pursue their studies in political science at Sciences Po Paris. Sara is a nature lover\, runner\, yogi\, and passionate advocate for mental health awareness.  \n  \n  \n  \n
