CTSC 2026 | Conference Theme

The exploration of innovative solutions and methodologies in the realm of Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) and CYBER threat detection, with a focus on new and emerging technical solutions proven to tackle modern threat profiles.

Exploring the benefits of applied working solutions for modern technical security concerns; expanding threat landscapes, and the demand for adaptive; proactive security strategies. The art of balancing the capability and limitations of AI and machine learning to identify characteristic and suspicious emanations in near real-time, such as IoT threat modeling and the unintended interaction and the consequences of undocumented vulnerabilities across interconnected devices and systems. Analysis and review of advancements in TSCM and CYBER equipment resources; software defined radio; unique deployment approaches; techniques and methodology; standards and best practices, including legal compliance and regulatory privacy concerns. A review of how they are successful at surfacing real-world TSCM and CYBER threats and modern threat-technology; unique deployment approaches, techniques and methodology.

CTSC is a good place to find out more about technical security for practitioners and for decision makers. What is happening in the technical security industry, what are best practices.  Find out what it takes and how much it costs to implement a technical security program.

The reality is that consumer and commercial level technological developments are converging, opening up new possibilities for all technical security professionals who maintain strong technical and administrative skill sets across a wide knowledge base.

At the same time, a wide variety of new technological threats are emerging, and these threats could compromise technical security and place tremendous demands on, and pose significant challenges to technical security programs, physical infrastructure and the information technology architecture.

Operators at all levels will need to be informed and prepared, not only here in Canada, but around the globe as business interests continue to become globally mobile.

CTSC 2026 provides participants, exhibitors, presenters a not to be missed three (3) day professional development and networking opportunity with others engaged in the complex field of technical security from around the world.

After the first busy conference day, please join us for a casual evening of networking with friends and colleagues at Hospitality night, a relaxing evening with a selection of snacks, and refreshments. Cash bar is available.

Hospitality night is included with your participant conference registration and / or exhibitor fee, presenters and all CTSC 2026 guests are invited.

Presenters are encouraged to attend the entire conference as we consider you an essential resource to the success of the conference, and it is for this reason presenter’s conference registration fees are waived.

Here are some of the benefits of attending CTSC:

• CTSC helps to raise awareness about all aspects of technical security in general and how technical security fits in with other facets of security management.
• Learning more about technical security helps corporations, governments, and business managers to bring meaningful focus to the development and implementation of a formal technical security program that will minimize the potential for compromise.
• Technical security is an important security component to identify and counter vulnerabilities, prevent loss of proprietary information, loss of business, and/or loss of livelihood
• The traditional paradigm of security needs to be challenged such that those people responsible for security no longer work in silos and instead consider more proactive and collaborative methods.
• CTSC helps to raise awareness for practitioners, qualifies for training and certification and identifies other relevant training opportunities, including using the Kestrel® TSCM Professional Software platform https://kestreltscm.com/
• The cost of attending CTSC is relatively inexpensive compared to the loss of essential or proprietary data/information.
• What does your company want to accomplish (needs) and what type of equipment may you want to use or to which company may you contract out your technical security requirements (some contractors are better than others)? Find out how to know if an operator is technical security competent.
• CTSC 2026 is again being held in Banff Alberta, why not combine the conference with a little sightseeing of some of the most spectacular scenery in the Canadian Rockies. (see: https://thecanadaguide.com/places/canadian-tourism/alberta-tourism/)
