The CSA roundtable will take place Monday, February 27, 2017, on floor 22 of the Ontario Securities Commission’s offices, located at 20 Queen Street West in Toronto. The agenda and schedule for the roundtable will be posted on the CSA’s website.

The event will be structured as a discussion based on two scenarios designed to explore how participants — individually and as a group — would respond in the event of a cyber incident. The discussion will focus on coordination and information-sharing among market participants, regulatory bodies and stakeholders.

Roundtable participants have been selected to reflect a diversity of roles and views, and include marketplaces, clearing agencies, registrants, reporting issuers, regulatory bodies and cybersecurity experts.

Although the CSA roundtable will not be open to the public, the CSA intends to issue a summary of the themes discussed.
