Cyber Summit 2024

What is the future of the internet of Canada?

Cyber attacks are threatening to destabilize Canadian organizations and households. Costs of protection are rising. Finding talented people who want to work in cybersecurity is as big a challenge as ever.

To examine where we are headed in the future, we first need to head in the opposite direction: the past.

The story of the internet in Canada is a long one. But it would be difficult (or perhaps impossible) to tell it without mentioning CIRA, the not-for-profit dedicated to building a trusted internet for Canadians.

In this session, CIRA’s Monica Ruttle will show participants how CIRA’s innovative contributions to the internet in Canada over the past 30 years have helped organizations across the country.

Over the last three decades, CIRA has managed the .CA domain on behalf of millions of Canadian websites, innovated on the domain name system (DNS) and developed inventive ways for Canadian organizations to fend off cybersecurity attacks.

Where will the internet go next ? Join us in this session to find out (and chuckle at some memes in the process).
