and Opportunity for the Technical Security Specialist (TSS) TM

 

Individuals, businesses and government organizations have become progressively
more dependent on the increasingly complex and pervasive networks of
communications and information processing systems that make up cyberspace.

However, the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of this growing and evolving
system of systems have multiplied. It is hard enough to make complex systems
work reliably in benign environments. In the real world, there are unlimited
possibilities for cyber-attacks, to which a further dimension is added by the
specter of state sponsored actors.

Contrast this situation with the realities facing technical security
practitioners. On the one hand, there is a rapidly evolving and increasingly
complex threat environment. On the other hand, it is frequently necessary to
work within various administrative, economic and time constraints.

Furthermore, organizational leaders are often reluctant to recognize the
magnitude of the threat and support adequate defensive measures, indeed, they
may have already been successfully targeted without realizing it.

To be successful in this environment, technical security practitioners must
be able to anticipate, identify and counter threats by drawing on an up-to-
date understanding of the actors, their tools and methods and demonstrate
leadership within their organizations.

More than ever, it is vital for them to take advantage of the expertise
resident in the Technical Security community of practice through participation
in relevant activities such as the annual Canadian Technical Security
Conference (CTSC).


The CTSC, now in its 13th year, is a focused technical security professional
development event that brings together security specialists and others having
a range of related interests.

Over a three-day period, participants will acquire relevant theoretical and
practical knowledge, including opportunities for hands-on experience with
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM), a vital, but often over-looked,
line of defense for safeguarding information in a technological world.

Participation in activities, such as the Canadian Technical Security
Conference (CTSC), positions technical operators and knowledgeable clients to
better identify potential and actual security compromises and respond
appropriately.

It just might be an investment that will pay off by helping prevent or limit
damage to your organization.
