Cyber Summit 2024

The most important meal of the day!

This session will explore how student life will change by 2035. Explore a day in the life of a student and the impact these changes will have on the existing university strategies and technology systems. We will review the changing nature of the future university, as well as its technologies and practices.

We’ll start with a briefing by higher education analyst Grace Farrell, followed by a workshop facilitated by Gartner VP and Executive Partner Stephen Lefebvre. 

The workshop is applicable to anyone involved with crafting their institution’s strategy, from both a technology and student experience perspective. Target roles are CIOs, CFOs, IT Directors, PMO leaders, CISOs and other Cybersecurity Leaders, Senior Managers, Associate Deans or academic chairs.

Fuel up for the afternoon workshop!

You’ve heard about AI tools such as ChatGPT being used to write malware and other cyberattack scripts, but how effective are they really? In this interactive session, cybersecurity experts from the University of Alberta and Cybera will simulate real-world attack scenarios using AI tools. Attendees will gain relevant context into the actual threat of AI against their institution, and see how these threats are monitored and addressed through a Security Information Event Management (SIEM) system.

Geared towards the network and security leads in education and public sector institutions, this workshop will provide a valuable learning and networking opportunity. This is your chance to walk through a variety of realistic attack scenarios, and build key relationships with other experts in the field.
