Edmonton Chapter - Cybersecurity: AI, Trust and Resilience - An Executive-Level Strategic Session for IT & Security Leaders

October 29, 2026 3:15 PM - 5:30 PM (MDT)

Description

As cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated, IT leaders face a challenge that goes beyond technical defence: gaining executive alignment and securing the investment needed to protect their organizations.

The key is connecting cybersecurity to what matters most to the business: operational resilience, stakeholder trust, and long-term growth. By framing security as a strategic investment rather than a cost centre, IT leaders can strengthen executive support, influence decision-making, and help shape a more resilient future for their organizations.

Join us for an exclusive, high-impact session designed for IT and security leaders looking to bridge the gap between technical risk and business strategy.

Key takeaways of the sessions:

  • Speaking the Language of Business: Learn how to frame cybersecurity risks, budgets, and resource needs in terms of revenue protection, brand reputation, and operational continuity.
  • Strengthening Executive Alignment: Explore strategies to secure C-suite sponsorship, align risk tolerances, and build shared accountability.
  • Putting Insights into Action: Gain practical tools and communication frameworks you can apply to your next executive presentation.

Strengthen your strategic influence and discover new ways to position cybersecurity as a driver of business value.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Featured Speaker:

Robert Martin, Executive Advisor, Cyber and Risk


Robert Martin is a veteran of the cybersecurity industry with over twenty-five years of executive leadership in organizations navigating risk, digital transformation, and the modern threat landscape. He has built and led cybersecurity programs for large, complex organizations, with a particular depth of experience in the healthcare sector, spanning governance, security architecture, and incident management. Today, as an executive advisor to clients across Canada, Robert is focused on the hard, practical work of building controls and guardrails to ensure AI and large language models work for people and organizations, and not against them.
