Trust Talks & Digital Dives DIACC

In this episode of T2D2, I'm honoured to host yet another exceptional guest. Today, we have Sami Khoury, head of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, or the Cyber Centre for short. As the head of the Cyber Centre, Sami serves as the primary source of expert advice,  guidance, services, and support on cyber security for government entities, critical infrastructure, owners, operators, the private sector, and the Canadian public.

Sami embarked on his career at the Communication Security Establishment (CSE) in 1992, where he initially acted as a research engineer specializing in the impact of emerging multimedia communications technologies over the years. He’s held various operational and leadership roles at CSE. More recently, he served as assistant deputy minister for enterprise, technologies and solutions. In this capacity, he was the CSE's Chief Officer. Sami’s contributions have been recognized through various accolades, including the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal and Apex Award for Excellence and Innovation.

On a personal note, as this podcast has grown, it's been a privilege to interview Canadian and international luminaries like Sami. We look forward to continuing to learn from him and from the many dedicated individuals who work for and with the Cyber Centre. With that... Let's Dive into digital trust with Sami!
