! scope="row" | Maintaining Open and Safe Cyber Security Design for All
|-
| Cyber threats can come from anywhere within an organization, and as a result, cyber security must be a shared responsibility. A recent study of 2,000 Chief Information Officers found that 61% of them increased investment in cyber security this year. Organizations are looking ahead in preparation for a post-pandemic future where remote work, cloud computing, increased automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and working in the open will be the norm.
!Annual Digital Government Forum: The Need to Build Modern Services for All
[[File:ADGF Banner EN.png|400px|frameless|center]]
|Citizens' expectations of government services are changing. They increasingly want easily accessible and flexible services that are available at any time and on any device. Eighty percent of Canadians think navigating government services would be simpler with more digital tools. <br><br>
This learning event will show participants the importance of improving how we deliver secure, modern, equitable services that are available to all. Leaders in the digital service realm will discuss how the context for service delivery is changing, the challenges organizations are facing, and how government can meet people's current, as well as future, needs and expectations. <br><br>
By attending the panel discussion and breakout sessions participants will learn: <br>
*what the current service environment in various levels of Canadian government looks like
*what various public sectors are doing to modernize service design and delivery approaches to better meet diverse client expectations
*some of the challenges and benefits that come with moving to digital-first service delivery <br><br>
*why status quo is not an option when it comes to the evolving digital transformation of government services
The event will be available online and in person. We encourage you to register early as space at the event location is limited.

Organizations are looking ahead in preparation for a post-pandemic future where remote work, cloud computing, increased automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and working in the open will be the norm.
<br><br>
Yet, there remains a lack of understanding about the ever-present cyber risks in the open way of working online. This does not imply that we should avoid online activity. However, public servants and citizens must have opportunities to learn how to become more cyber savvy, resilient, vigilant and safe as they navigate the online world.
<br><br>
As part of Cyber Security Awareness Month, join this event to learn more about cyber security and some its challenges, including how to:
<br>
*anticipate cyber risks
*be ready when incidents happen
*put safety first, particularly when it comes to keeping data secure
*cultivate a culture of open cyber security and shared risk; and
*adopt a holistic approach that is accessible, inclusive and secure for all.
