In CyberSecurity Group (CSG) at MacEwan University, we organize Cybersecurity Awareness Series to familiarize our students with the cybersecurity challenges, threats, developments, and the market requirements.
CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS is critically required for a secure cyberspace. Cybercriminals are constantly discovering new ways to circumvent the latest defensive tools and technologies, infiltrating your systems. Being aware of actual and potential cyber threats is essential to safeguarding data.

Alberta’s Cybersecurity Strategy:
Zero Trust and Beyond
Alberta’s Cybersecurity Strategy:
Zero Trust and Beyond
While AI-based technologies enhance cybersecurity, they also create new opportunities for adversaries, leading to emerging challenges in cyberspace security. As a result, traditional network access control methods are insufficient to address these evolving threats. Zero Trust represents a significant shift from the traditional “Trust but Verify” approach to a “Never Trust, Always Verify” model in modern access control systems.
What is Alberta’s cybersecurity strategy for migrating to Zero Trust and addressing AI-related cybersecurity challenges?
Speaker: Martin Dinel (BSc, ISP, ITCP, CISSP)
