Detection tools light up dashboards with alerts - but alerts are not evidence, and evidence is what Bill C-8 compliance now demands. Canada's critical infrastructure operators have 72 hours from awareness of a cyber incident to investigate, reconstruct and report it to regulators. That clock does not start when containment begins; it starts the moment the organization becomes aware. For most OT teams still relying on logs, netflow and agent-based tools, that window is already closing before the investigation has started.

This session, led by Grant Smith of Netscout, will cover:

• Why alerts without packet-level context create alert fatigue and miss the root cause of OT incidents;
• How continuous full packet capture creates tamper-proof, timeline-accurate forensic evidence that log data and netflow cannot provide;
• What a compliant Bill C-8 incident response looks like - from hour zero awareness through to evidence-backed regulatory reporting within 72 hours.
