Transport Canada has established Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Cyber Security Communities of Practice for leaders and technical practitioners of road authorities and road infrastructure owners or operators.
Road transportation technologies are changing quickly and maturing the cyber security posture of road authorities and road infrastructure operators is critical to ensure continued service to Canadians. The Communities of Practice will serve as a safe space for decision makers and technical professionals from various municipalities and road authorities to come together and share experiences, best practices and insights related to cyber security.
We are currently hosting two cyber security Communities of Practice (CoP):
- Executive CoP: An executive community for leaders of road authorities and road infrastructure owners or operators, held twice a year
- Technical CoP: A technical community for cyber security practitioners of road authorities or road infrastructure owners or operators with cyber security responsibilities as part of their role, held quarterly
Our CoP events will include:
- Subject Matter Experts: guest speakers with hands-on experience.
- Case Studies: analyze and discuss relevant cyber-attacks or cyber security initiatives.
- Industry Updates: guidance on the latest cyber security news and emerging practices.
- Roundtables: share advice or ask questions to discuss with your peers.
- Tailored Content: any content the community feels would be valuable and adapted to members' interests.
Each Community of Practice session is scheduled for 2 hours, with time for introduction, short and long presentations, and Q&A and discussion. During these sessions, members are encouraged to engage and ask any questions, participate in discussions, and share their experiences and feedback as appropriate.
