In the media...
I have been fortunate recently to be invited to contribute to media stories centered on cybersecurity. This page lists all the links to these interviews, both television and radio. The bulk of these are in French, as they have been in local Quebec media, as well as Radio-Canada (the French arm of the CBC) across the country.

July 8, 2022 The Big Rogers Outage |  | ||
On Friday, July 8th, Canadians woke up to major Internet issues; initially it was thought that the Interac system was down. As we all quickly found out, however, it was bigger than that. The entire Rogers network had dropped off the Internet! It didn’t take long before the phone started to ring and I was invited to comment on the issue both on radio and television, as well as some follow-ups on Monday. | |||
