• Dr. Adou, a professor at Carleton University, shared his expertise in authentication & network security

• Magno Logan, an Information Security Specialist at Trend Micro, spoke about application security and cloud security

• Chris Whalen, Director of IT and Cyber Security at Solace, spoke on cryptography.
