Tecnet Hosts Cybersecurity Awareness Month Webinar Series

Free Cybersecurity sessions give business leaders and IT decision-makers practical direction on AI governance and business continuity

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, September 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tecnet, a 100% Canadian-owned IT managed services and cybersecurity provider, today announced a five-part webinar series for Cybersecurity Awareness Month Oct 2026. Sessions run from October 9 to 29.

These sessions are built for business leaders and IT decision-makers across British Columbia and explore the cybersecurity issues shaping organizations today, including business continuity, phishing and human risk, AI security, Shadow AI, and the evolving cyber threat landscape.

The series pairs Tecnet specialists with industry partners. It closes with a briefing from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) on the threat landscape facing organizations in the province. Tecnet has also created new practical cybersecurity resources and a Cyber Check Quiz that organizations can use to benchmark their current practices.

"It's not enough to purchase a license or deploy a product: it has to be deployed securely and maintained properly as the threat landscape keeps changing," said Russell Woodford, Cybersecurity Lead at Tecnet. "People aren't perfect and attackers play on your willingness to act quickly, so this Cybersecurity Awareness Month our webinars and new articles are focused on helping your team become your human firewall."
