At the same time, labour and skills shortages continue to be a challenge for employers in Nova Scotia, particularly as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. For employers, adopting a mindset that forefronts equity, inclusion, and belonging in recruitment, retention, engagement, communication, training, and everyday workplace practices is key to building a bridge between a skilled and valuable labour pool and proven gaps in the labour market. This means moving beyond the built environment to include different ways of recruiting, communicating with, training, and engaging employees. Join Sea Change CoLab for a free virtual workshop to: Define disability, accessibility, inclusion, and belonging, and identify how these concepts apply in your workplace. Explore Nova Scotia’s Accessibility Act and its impact on workplaces. Identify barriers to accessibility through first voice case studies and scenarios. Integrate the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as one framework for accessibility that removes barriers. Develop strategies for creating an accessible and inclusive workplace and culture. Come to this session and leave with a toolkit of resources to accelerate accessibility in your workplace!

Beyond Unification: How CNAP Should Reduce Cloud Security Risk

Online

By now, every security team understands that unification is the first step to securing their workloads in the cloud. Disparate niche solutions are impossible to manage, with differing security needs at different points in the cloud tech stack and for different types of microservices at different points in the SDLC. Unification can’t be the end goal, though, because cloud security teams are still struggling with alert fatigue, friction with DevOps and manually trying to prioritize where their attention and remediation is required. In this webinar, we will examine how to reduce cloud security risk and eliminate existing complexity in the cloud, by using smarter unification tools that can help security professionals reduce risk in the cloud and DevOps teams to remain empowered and agile. In this webinar you will learn: How to pull business objectives into the security alert prioritization process Why establishing an asset's effective security policy in the cloud is critical to risk elimination How to eliminate friction with DevOps teams and turn your organization’s security into an innovation enabler
