Carleton University’s Initiative for Parliamentary and Diplomatic Engagement is proud to present a panel discussion entitled Cybersecurity: What Parliamentarians Need to Know and Do on Monday, March 9, 2015.
Everything that is networked is hackable – and most everything, from bank accounts to cars to the grid that supplies electricity, is connected to the Internet. Nation states are attacking Canada’s government systems and stealing the intellectual property of its firms. Criminal gangs are attacking companies and individuals for pure profit. Hackivists are attacking governments and corporations for political reasons. How should Canadian policy makers address these cyberthreats?
