Sami Khoury, senior official for cyber security, Government of Canada, will explore the key trends shaping today’s cyber landscape, including ransomware targeting critical services, faster time to exploit vulnerabilities, concentration risk in major technology and cloud providers, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence on phishing, impersonation and vulnerability discovery. He will outline what these shifts mean for universities, students entering the workforce and leaders responsible for business continuity and trust. The talk emphasizes resilience as a practical strategy, built through strong public-private partnerships, trusted information sharing and coordinated response before a crisis occurs. The session will also translate cyber risk into leadership decisions, including governance, accountability, incident readiness and organizational culture. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of what is changing and a practical view of what to do next. Concordia students, faculty and staff are invited to attend. This event is part of the Gina Cody School Distinguished Speaker Series, in collaboration with the Security Research Centre.
