Chief Information Security Officer Martin Dinel has all the same technology challenges of every other large organization. Placing Alberta in front of that CISO title brings the additional requirements of protecting government secrets, interfacing with national security, protecting financial and health information of more than 4 million people as well as the infrastructure of a province almost the size of Texas. 

Mr. Dinel shares some innovative ideas for sourcing and retaining talent,  observations on how the education system needs to change and his vision for turning Alberta into a cyber security center of excellence.
