The visit was highlighted by a discussion on the development of mutual cooperation between CyberSecurityHubcz and Canada. We also introduced the Ambassador to the activities of our Hub and some of our projects - Czech National Quantum Communication Infrastructure (CZQCI) and the Advanced Chip Design and Research Centre (ACDRC).
“I was delighted to learn about the activities
Emily McLaughlin, Ambassador of Canada to Czechia
of CyberSecurityHubCZ and discuss the possibilities
of sharing know-how and other opportunities
for Canadian-Czech cooperation
in the field of cybersecurity.”
Also discussed was the possibility of working with CyberRangecz, an expert task force that prepares cyber professionals. "We discussed possibilities for cooperation between CyberRangecz and Canadian partners in training in the defense against emerging threats, especially hybrid warfare. Given Canada’s interest in this field, there is certainly room for mutual learning," said CyberRangecz head Jakub Čegan.
We are very delighted that we were able to present the activities of our Hub to the Ambassador and we look forward to further cooperation. "It was an honour to welcome Ambassador Emily McLaughlin. Our discussions on cybersecurity highlighted the significant potential for collaboration between CyberSecurityHubcz and Canadian organizations and industry. We look forward to further exploring these opportunities," said CyberSecurityHubcz Research Coordinator Tomas Pitner.
