Preliminary program - 2020 Annual Workshop
The Smart Cybersecurity Network (Serene-risc) 2020 Annual Workshop brings together researchers, professionals and decision-makers from industry, government and academia to discuss the latest advances in Canadian cybersecurity knowledge, technologies, practices and policies.
The focus this year is on human-centric cybersecurity, understood as the multiple roles played by the human-factor in cybersecurity processes and outcomes. We want to explore how innovative awareness campaigns and cybercrime prevention initiatives enhance the effectiveness of cybersecurity policies.
The event will take place online on October 21-22, 2020.
