Canadian Women in Cybersecurity 2026
The conference reflects the range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds present across Canada’s cybersecurity community. While diversity challenges in the field are often discussed in terms of hiring, they also shape how cybersecurity problems are understood and addressed. Broadening the range of voices involved in these discussions supports new approaches and more resilient solutions within the Canadian cybersecurity ecosystem.
The event will examine contributions from cybersecurity professionals across the country, highlighting work shaped by varied educational paths, technical expertise, and personal experiences. The program focuses on both established and emerging leaders, with attention to innovation, practical application, and lessons learned from navigating the field.
Designed for a wide audience, the conference includes a mix of keynote talks, panel discussions, technical sessions, and interactive elements. Together, these components aim to create space for learning, discussion, and shared insight rather than promotion alone.
