Cancelled: ITAC Cybersecurity Talent Alliance – Future of the Cybersecurity Workforce Symposium, scheduled for October 29, 2019

The Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC) has made the difficult but prudent decision to cancel the ITAC Cybersecurity Talent Alliance – Future of the Cybersecurity Workforce Symposium. scheduled for Tuesday, October 29, 2019.

Unfortunately, at this time, the ecosystem on talent acquisition within our membership has not been developed as much as we had expected.  Going forward, we will look more deeply into how we can efficiently draw knowledge from large enterprises to smaller stakeholders to share insight on what is important in a cybersecurity job. We will also address what competencies underlie successful performance in the field and how we can develop the cybersecurity talent that Canada needs now and in the future.

We wish to thank everyone who expressed interest in participating in this conversation by registering, volunteering to speak, or sponsoring this event.  Registrants and sponsors will be receiving a full refund before the end of the week.  We appreciate your understanding and will work toward further developing our ecosystem and rescheduling the event.

The Cybersecurity Talent Alliance was formed as a governing body to develop and deliver solutions to address workforce development needs in cybersecurity under a 3-year federal government funded program, the Cybersecurity Skills Initiative.  ITAC’s partners in the Cybersecurity Talent Alliance are drawn from industry, government and academia. Together, this Alliance will focus on creating a comprehensive and impactful collaborative network and partner ecosystem to further cybersecurity education, training and workforce development.   This Alliance will still meet in-person next week to support the vision to ensure a secure digital nation that is capable of advancing Canada’s economic prosperity and national security.

Please be advised that both ITAC and the ITAC Cybersecurity Alliance have additional opportunities to be engaged over the next month, including e-panel conversations and focus groups.  If you are interested, please contact Sandra Campbell, Senior Program Manager, at scampbell@itac.ca.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to seeing you at next year’s industry-leading event.

9 VCs in Madrid and Barcelona discuss the COVID-19 era and look to the future

Spain’s startup ecosystem has two main hubs: Madrid and Barcelona. Most observers place Barcelona first and Madrid second, but the gap appears to close every year. Barcelona has benefitted from attracting expats in search of sun, beach and lifestyle who tend to produce more internationally minded startups. Madrid’s startups have predominantly been Spain or Latin America-focused, but have become increasingly international in nature. Although not part of this survey, we expect Valencia to join next year, as city authorities have been going all-out to attract entrepreneurs and investors. The overall Spanish ecosystem is generally less mature than those in the U.K., France, Sweden and Germany, but it has been improving at a fast clip. More recently, entrepreneurs in Spain have moved away from emulating success in pursuit of innovative technologies. Following the financial crisis, the Spanish government supported the creation of startups with the launch of FOND-ICO GLOBAL, a €1.5 billi...

Information Technology Blog - - Emulating USB Dongle – Introducing HASP Dongle Emulator Software - Information Technology Blog Over the years the methods used by software developers and producers to limit the amount of users to a specific number in a licensing agreement have become more complex.  The aim of copy protection is to protect the intellectual rights and financial investment of the individual developers and manufacturing companies.   A way of getting around this protection is to reproduce the media through which you can deliver the application to other users,  meaning that the software can be replicated far in excess of that specified in the license.
