Our goal with SC Congress Toronto is to bring together Canada’s top cybersecurity experts to offer practical solutions to combat the evolving threat landscape.
TORONTO (PRWEB) April 07, 2015
SC Congress Toronto 2015, the most prestigious event in Canada for cybersecurity professionals, has announced its sixth annual conference and expo will be taking place at the Metro Convention Centre, June 10-11, 2015. The event, produced by SC Magazine, brings together North America’s top cybersecurity luminaries to discuss the latest trends, threats and best practices that security professionals need to win the arms race against cybercriminals.
“Daily breach headlines are a constant reminder that cyber attacks are coming from both the disgruntled employee on the inside and malicious external hackers on the outside," said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Magazine. “These incidents coupled with new technology trends like the Internet of Things (IoT) emphasize the importance of ongoing collaboration and education. Our goal with SC Congress Toronto is to bring together Canada’s top cybersecurity experts to offer practical solutions to combat the evolving threat landscape and send delegates home with the knowledge and skills needed to better secure their organizations.”
This year’s conference offers in-depth discussions and technical breakout sessions to help private and public sector security professionals thwart cybercriminals, combat insider attacks and threats from social engineering and ransomware, establish effective incident response plans, and better prepare security leadership to minimize risk across their organizations.
Keynote Sessions at SC Congress Toronto 2015 Include:

Incident response
With the growing number of VERY public breaches, the old saying “It’s not if you get hit, but when,” is more relevant than ever. A detailed and well-rehearsed incident response plan for both cybersecurity purposes and communications purposes is more critical than ever before. This panel will discuss those matters and provide best practices for incident response plans.
