Industry committee  Real time. Not lightning fast, but real time. I would even go one step further. Predict it. That's where cognitive computing and this analytics.... You don't just look at the past or the present. You ask, “Where is it coming from next?“ It's like policing. Put the police where t

Industry committee  Don't lose hope on this, or protect everything by closing down.

Industry committee  As a matter of fact, those organizations, many of the banks, of course, but the government agencies and others, are working with us on that because of the level above. Why I was even speaking as much as I was is that I was in a cybersecurity U.K.-Canada colloquium that was takin

Industry committee  Right. My comment before was to ensure that you have a security understanding and take steps if there are gaps. As the government, there are a lot of great steps forward but there's a lot of knowledge still to be gained. Once you get satisfied that you're working that very, very

Industry committee  What's being referred to is not so much cybersecurity of data but the Patriot Act.

Industry committee  Some of my peers do not have a presence here in Canada. They have sales offices. We actually have a number of centres here where all the data stays in the country. Now, there's a worldwide flow of data, there's no question. If you are somebody who has to be protected, you need t

Industry committee  I share...anything that's protecting, putting up borders, in the same way I would on free trade. Commerce is being done globally. Every organization, whether they think so or not, is a global company because their customer base, their supplier base, and their competition are comi

Industry committee  Sure. In which way do you want to chat about that?

Industry committee  Here's a little-known fact. The best cybersecurity knowledge has been coming from Canada. Q1 Labs in Fredericton, which you may have run into in your time, is now an IBM company, but it runs our cybersecurity around the world, which is, in many circles, known as top-notch. One of

Industry committee  One of my insights is I was the chair of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce two years ago and immediate past chair. I really spent time on that question, wondering why Canadians were lagging and all the statistics showed that. My company was one that was sort of an outlier. I do

Industry committee  I'll take a quick shot at that. I think you need an ombudsman in the group. In other words, you need somebody, and with SOSCIP which we talked about earlier, the Ontario government placed the Ontario centres of excellence on the board. We encourage that. There are only two IBMer

Industry committee  You're right, especially if you choose a hospital as the start of your question. There are a number of great entrepreneurs who are making interesting...because of the Internet and the cloud services and mobile applications where patients can take their data with them and understa

Industry committee  We have to have more willingness. The open data question was one.... There are ways of protecting data, and you start with that. Once you do that, open it up. Stop thinking that you have to protect everything. It's almost like the same thing on free trade. You could put blocks o

Industry committee  I have a point of view, of course. Our company was there at the very beginning of Silicon Valley, and I have good friends whom I deal with every day who are in Almaden and other of our labs there as well. But I compete pretty aggressively with them, as a Canadian, to win more mis

Industry committee  That's an excellent question, and it actually has a very big application for the public sector to think about. To give you an updated version of that, we are now very heavily invested in oncology in this cognitive computing we call Watson. I was with one of the federal ministers
