Converge brings cybersecurity and identity
management experts together to discuss digital vulnerabilities in
the public and private sectors.
OTTAWA, May 1, 2019 /CNW/ - Converge Technology
Solutions Corp. ("Converge" or "the Company") (TSXV:
CTS) (FSE: 0ZB) is pleased to announce the results of the
Cybersecurity & Identity Summit held in Ottawa on April
19, 2019. Recent developments in cybersecurity and
digital identity management have changed the way people go about
their daily lives. The danger posed by "bad actors" and other
emerging threats has become a paramount concern for experts in the
field. To address these and other concerns, Becker-Carroll and Northern Micro, both Converge
companies, along with the Ottawa Cybersecurity Meetup Group,
organized the Cybersecurity & Identity Summit in Ottawa. The one-day event was developed to
spur conversations and create mutually rewarding relationships
between industry-minded individuals.
The event was a resounding success, with over 350 attendees and
23 presenters. It was comprised of panels, breakout sessions, and
keynote addresses that opened the floor for dialogue around the
growing need for security and identity solutions for both the
public and private sectors. The speakers and panelists were
carefully selected by leaders at Becker-Carroll and Ottawa Cybersecurity Group for
their industry knowledge and experience.
"When we were working with the Ottawa Cybersecurity Meetup Group
members to organize this event, we knew that it would reach a
sizeable audience. Based on the attendance and the conversations
that took place at the event, it is apparent that the need for our
digital identity message is even greater than we thought," said
Don Cuthbertson, COO of Converge.
"People in every industry need to understand how these topics
affect them, and it's my hope that this discussion grows and
evolves as new trends emerge."
"Digital identity management is rapidly evolving and becoming
more complex. Keeping information secure is tantamount to running a
successful business, and organizations must understand the way in
which cyberthreats that target people as well as systems can impact
them in order to remain protected," said Bruce Levis, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at
Becker-Carroll. "Something as
innocuous as a spam email can result in a catastrophe if the
appropriate preparations are not made."
Converge, through Becker-Carroll and other Converge companies, is
focused on becoming an industry leader in digital identity to
deliver digital innovation and transformation solutions to
customers with privacy and security at the forefront; with the
ability to leverage advancements in blockchain, distributed ledger
and self-sovereign identity technologies for associated trust
assertions.
