GeneralYou will design and present a cybersecurity education workshop focused on how Canadians and organizations can protect themselves from cyber harm. Your workshop can focus on a specific type of cyber harm (for example, phishing, ransomware, identity theft, AI-driven scams) or on cyber harm in general, highlighting best practices for digital safety. Your final project combines research, communication, and design. You’ll create a Digital Defence Toolkit, Workshop Slides, a Recorded Presentation, and a short Summary Reflection that ties everything together. The goal is to translate research, data, and policy understanding into practical education for a wider audience, demonstrating your ability to inform and empower others in the digital age.
GeneralYou’ve mapped Canada’s cybersecurity landscape (Project 1) and explored how key players are responding to new threats (Project 2). Now, you step into the role of a policy designer shaping Canada’s digital future. Develop your own policy, law, or civic framework to make Canada and its citizens safer online. You can approach this from the perspective of a government advisor, community leader, or independent researcher. The goal is to develop a clear, evidence-based proposal that enhances cybersecurity while preserving privacy, democracy, and public trust.
GeneralIn Project 1, you mapped out the key players in Canada’s cybersecurity landscape, including their roles, responsibilities, and connections. In this project, you’ll build on that work by examining what these players are actually doing to respond to modern cyber threats. Cybersecurity today is about more than technology; it’s about people, trust, and information. With the rise of AI-generated deepfakes, phishing scams, and automated misinformation, protecting Canadians has become a shared responsibility across governments, organizations, and citizens. Your task in this project is to research and analyze how Canada is protecting itself against these emerging challenges, identifying any gaps in its approach.
