Research Security: Protecting Canadian Data, Science and Technology – Feb. 22, 2022

Canada is a global research leader, due to our world-class universities, public and private research organizations, and human talent. Canada’s innovative reputation attracts threat actors: they exploit our principles of open science and collaboration; disregard Canada’s laws and values; and disguise their role in serving a foreign state agenda to obtain valuable Canadian data, intellectual property (IP) and know-how. 

This presentation will examine elements of the threat: Who are the threat actors involved in this space and why are they targeting Canadian research? Which sectors are particularly at risk? How are threat actors exploiting vulnerabilities in our R&D sector?
