Operation: Defend the North — A Canadian Cybersecurity Readiness Exercise
I took part in siberX's "Operation: Defend the North," a Canadian cybersecurity readiness exercise held October 20, 2025 in Calgary, with both in-person and digital participation.
Readiness exercises like this one are a valuable complement to the standards and program work I do day to day—putting collective defense to the test in a hands-on setting and building the relationships across industry that make a stronger national security culture possible. I was glad to connect with others in the community and take part in the exercise.
