Future of Work Series: Cybersecurity Skills Gap and the War for Diverse Talent

Online

TECHNATION has recently launched a compelling Future of Work Series. The first event was held in June to address Re-imagining the Digital Workplace Post-Pandemic event in June 2021. This series was designed to guide us back to work post-pandemic by leveraging the insights of both national and global thought leaders. On December 8, 2021, we will host the next event in this series entitled, “Cybersecurity Skills Gap and the War for Diverse Talent” Cybersecurity is an area of strategic importance for virtually every business in Canada and attraction and retention of top talent is becoming increasingly competitive. TECHNATION will feature compelling industry leaders and security subject matter experts who will provide context on this pressing issue as well as present the latest reports, program successes, case studies, best practices and concrete solutions. Security is becoming an increasingly complex field of expertise and it is critical to have diversity in perspective, skills and experience. This event will showcase some of the top Canadian security leaders (both in industry and government) who will share their insights and advice as we strive to address the cyberskill challenge and to identify alternative pathways to diverse talent.

Westin Ottawa 11 Colonal By Dr, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

“Government Adoption of Cloud and Intelligent Automation: Driving Change Together!” Wednesday June 1, 2022 Scroll down to agenda… Though the economic case for government-wide adoption of Cloud was made more than a decade ago, progress in Canada remains uneven.

TECHNATION put forward recommendations in 2015 and then again in 2019 calling on Government to accelerate Cloud adoption, prioritize in-house Cloud education and training, adopt a different operating model, and more.
