Technical Security Countermeasures in a World of Technological Discontinuities and Disruptive Innovations

Traditional threat models are fast becoming obsolete in the face of technological advances for three main reasons:

1. It is impossible to avoid using or employing such technological advances because the Internet of Things is really the Internet of Everything;
2. Threat operators can and will find new and innovative ways to leverage the capabilities embedded into these everyday objects and exploit them for their own purposes. Often, users of such objects will be completely oblivious to the risks; and,
3. To make matters even worse, these threat operators require little in the way of resources to exploit vulnerabilities inherent in the technology. That means that these threat operators are not necessarily state actors, large organizations, in the same geographic area or, in other words, the previous usual suspects.

Fortunately, the battle is not completely one-sided.  Defensive resources, tools, countermeasures, and technologies are available. That is why, you need to attend the Canadian Technical Security Conference to hone an up-to-date awareness of the threat environment, countermeasures, tools and a better understanding how to make the best use of them.  Moreover, not only will you learn from experts but you can become part of a community that pulls together against the threat operators to share information and best practices.

A Poorly Implemented Technical Security Program Fools Everyone — But the Attacker…

Participants, exhibitors, presenters and CTSC 2024 guests are invited to join us on the first evening of the conference for our sponsored hospitality night networking event.

Please join us for a casual evening of networking with friends and colleagues.

Hospitality night includes a selection of snacks, and refreshments. Cash bar is available.

The hospitality night event provides a casual and relaxing end, rounding out a busy first day of the conference.

Hospitality night is included with your participant conference registration and / or exhibitor fee, presenters and all CTSC 2024 guests are invited.

The reality is that consumer and commercial level technological developments are converging, opening up new possibilities for all technical security professionals who maintain strong technical and administrative skill sets across a wide knowledge base.

At the same time, a wide variety of new technological threats are emerging, and these threats could compromise technical security and place tremendous demands on, and pose significant challenges to technical security programs, physical infrastructure and the information technology architecture.

Technical security professionals, at all operational threat levels, from private individuals, small businesses, corporate security directors, governments, and military operators will need to be informed and prepared, not only here in Canada, but around the globe as business interests continue to become globally mobile.

That is why you need to be a part of the exclusive group of technical security practitioners and industry support professionals at CTSC 2024.

CTSC 2024 is a not to be missed three (3) day professional development and networking opportunity with others engaged in the complex field of technical security.

So plan now to attend, present, demonstrate, exhibit, network, compete in our original, world famous “Bug-Off”, attend hospitality night, enjoy the keynote speaker at our always entertaining casual Dinner and Awards night, learn something new, see what is on the horizon, and extend your professional credibility with renewed knowledge and the opportunity for hands on experience.

It is all happening at CTSC 2024 for the 16th year running!
