In this week's Canadian Research Security Roundup, we explore how state actors are bypassing traditional firewalls by exploiting professional trust within the academic sector. We break down a multi-year spear-phishing campaign against NASA, China's aggressive military-civil fusion strategy focusing on unmanned aerial vehicles, and the strategic research ties forming between China and Iran.We also dive into how allied nations are fighting back. Learn about Canada's proactive measures, including Oshawa's pivot to defense manufacturing, investments in autonomous drone defense in Saskatchewan, and the integration of transparent AI to secure next-generation nuclear energy.
