Government Cybersecurity Showcase Federal 2026
2026-02-25 | Ottawa Conference and Event Centre, Ontario, Canada
Securing Tomorrow, Today: Canada’s Vision for Cyber Resilience
About Government Cybersecurity Showcase Federal 2026
The Government of Canada manages a wide range of IT systems, services, and infrastructure designed to support its citizens. Maintaining the reliability and resilience of these digital services is essential to preserving public trust. To do so, federal agencies must protect critical infrastructure, digital assets, and sensitive citizen data from growing cyber threats.
As expectations rise for seamless, innovative digital experiences—both in government and industry—rapid modernization is reshaping organizations across all sectors. This transformation requires extensive data collection and integration, including personal information and intellectual property, increasing the risks of data breaches, fraud, and identity theft.
To safeguard citizens, employees, and the continuity of government services, public-sector cybersecurity capabilities must advance in step with the threat landscape. Strengthening foundational cyber defenses across departments, while enhancing whole-of-government operational security, is vital to detecting and responding to increasingly sophisticated attacks.
In response to these challenges, the Government Cybersecurity Showcase Federal | Government Innovation Week Federal | Public Sector Network focuses on the critical need to protect public-sector systems and information in an increasingly digital environment. Join us to examine the implementation of advanced cybersecurity practices—from threat intelligence and risk management to incident response and recovery. Register here
