Cross-post from CASIS - ACERS
Insight Monitor subscribers, this is a must-read report from the annual CASIS symposium, the premier security and intelligence conference in Canada. -

Couldn't make it to the CASIS Symposium, or want to re-live the fruitful day of discussion and learning? Our Symposium Report is available for download!

Highlights include:

  • Keynote speech from Peter Mattis about the importance of harnessing OSINT, given its value in providing insights into political, economic, security, and social trends. He advocated for creating an OSINT-focused entity that works alongside government to support intelligence functions, leveraging open-source and classified intelligence.

  • Panel focusing on how intelligence successes are often built on learning from past failures, which help shape decision-makers’ thinking when addressing future challenges. Emily Harding, Dr. Thomas Juneau, and Michelle Tessier shared their valuable insights.

  • Discussion with Peter Elliot, Angela Lewis, and Dave McMahon about how shifting geopolitical dynamics affect the private sector, particularly in industries with global operations or supply chains, and require companies to better anticipate, assess, and manage corporate risk.

  • Analysis from Jonathan Berkshire-Miller, Dr. Stephanie Carvin, and Vincent Rigby about the “Five Eyes” security and intelligence alliance, and opportunities for Canada to deepen its cooperation with diversified alliances.

  • Forward-looking insights from Dr. Simon Miles, Dr. Emily Whalen, and Dr. Joseph Torigian on the strategic competition between major global powers, exploring how traditional statecraft evolves and new forms of conflict emerge.

  • Presentations from the CASIS-CSIS National Essay Prize Winners. Congratulations once again to graduate students Aidan Kerr and Nikhil Goyal, and undergraduate student Anna Lysenko!
