Trends in security and cybersecurity
As organizations undergo digital transformation, security and cybersecurity professionals must employ the latest best practices to keep important information safe.
Catherine Loughlean, Director, Risk Advisory and Cyber Risk Services with Deloitte Canada talks challenges, opportunities and the future of security with Dr. Raynie Wood, Dean of SAIT’s School for Advanced Digital Technology.
6 key cybersecurity trends
With the digital landscape changing rapidly, Loughlean highlights some of the key trends in the field today:
- ensuring a basic level of cyber hygiene — maintaining computers and devices, and taking steps to improve online security
- investing in a “secure by design” approach — building security into software systems at the foundation.
- focus of efforts towards counterintelligence to thwart advanced threats — truly leveraging a predictive model for cyber security as compared to preventative.
- equal importance given to recoverability and prevention
- an increase in (self) regulation
- the necessity for automation in response to a talent shortage.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
