analyze the findings of the 2016 Scalar
Security Study, in which we surveyed
over 650 Canadian IT and IT security
professionals to find out how prepared
they are to deal with attacks, how
cyber attacks have evolved in the last
twelve months, and what strategies,
tactics, and technologies are most
effective in combatting cyber attacks.
You will learn what separates high-

from their low-performing
counterparts, and steps you can
take to help your company achieve
a stronger cyber security posture.
