Practicing resilience with your digital habits
Tips and tools to aid with your personal cybersecurity and job searching

Our speaker, Frances MacTaggart is a Manager within KPMG’s Cyber Resilience, Strategy and Governance practice and is skilled in multiple areas of cyber security, which includes information security governance and strategy, third party risk management, security training, and more. Frances’ expertise involves combining sociocultural and emergency management considerations to create and implement methodologies that could be used to predict, prepare and mitigate against cyber threats. Additionally, she provides her business continuity expertise within KPMG nationally as part of KPMG in Canada’s Business Continuity Team. She uses her background in crisis management to provide insights about adversary and organisational decision making, standard operating procedures, tactics, techniques, and likely responses to cyber events.
