Canada’s cybersecurity conference
SecTor brings security professionals, managers and executives together to share research on emerging threats and the defences that answer them. The 2026 program is built around vendor-neutral Briefings, an Executive Summit, an AI x Cloud Security Summit, and Trainings.
For anyone working in aerospace and defence, the overlap is direct: supply chain security, operational technology, and the security of the systems that keep aircraft and satellites running. The Business Hall is included with every pass tier and is where the tooling conversation happens.
WIA members: reach out to us for a promo code and attend for free.
