Agenda

Security | Policy

Australia’s cyber security capabilities have come into question following Australia’s worst data breach in history, with the theft of 40% of the population’s personal data.

With new funding released in the budget, discover how Australia looks to bolster cyber security across government, defence and commercial industries.

Gain insights to international cyber crime trends that threaten the stability of the governments, economies and societies of nations in our region and the opportunities present to build and maintain cyber resilience.

In this session:

• The threats that face Australian networks and industries
• New opportunities to support the modernisation of Australia’s cyber defences
• How Australia is working to combat ransomware in developing nations to reduce cyber threats among global supply chains

Is your organisation likely to be attacked? By whom? How? Why?

Victimology is an essential piece of the puzzle to your cyber security strategy in determining the vulnerabilities within your organisation and the likelihood of falling victim to cyber crime.

In this session, or speaker will unpack the latest victimology trends across defence, government and commercial industries so you can best protect the assets of your organisation as well as your employees, supply chains, and consumers.

Join this session to be ahead of the curve and help your CISO and their team parallel the right protections and determine what risk posture your organisation and supply chains should assume.

Ransomware trends | Deep web

The rise of ransomware as a service (RaaS) is enabling everyday unskilled hackers to execute highly sophisticated cyber attacks via the deep web.

In this session, you will watch a real-time threat emulation unfold before your eyes as our speakers discuss how RaaS is making cyber crime easier than ever for hackers.

Our speaker will show you just how easy it is onto get to the dark web and access these services as they unpack the RaaS model, how it redefines our understanding of ransomware incidents and the new risks it poses to your organisation.

Gain insights to:

• The RaaS model and the changing risk environment it poses for your business
• Analysis into ransomware threats and the trends you need to be wary of
• Legal considerations that pose risks to companies transferring funds to ransomware actors

The last 10 years have seen sweeping changes move through our industry. Infrastructure has been transformed, teams have split and reformed, and autonomy has become paramount for organisational transformation. This has created a perfect storm for the cyber security industry, with traditional practices being stretched to breaking point, and often beyond. In this talk, Grant Orchard, Field CTO for HashiCorp explores these trends in greater detail, detailing ways in which our cyber paradigms and strategies need to shift in order to support these changes while sharing some customer stories that highlight successful navigation of these challenges.

OT security

Industry 4.0 will see the ultimate partnership between intelligent humans and smart machines. With new IoT technologies being embraced, new cyber security risks to critical infrastructure begin to emerge.

In this session, we will unpack the unique threats to industries such as energy, transportation, water monitoring and distribution, oil and gas, and communications systems that pose potentially catastrophic risks if their systems are left vulnerable.

Gain insights to the latest threats in OT and how companies can future-proof their critical infrastructure protection strategies.

In this session:

• Case studies of OT breaches
• What are the emerging trends and threats faced by smart industrial organisations?
• How does securing industrial environments differ culturally and technically from securing IT?
• Best practices and risk remediation techniques specific to OT security

Discover how you can counter the latest OT threats to protect the critical services supporting our daily lives.

Commercial | Strategy

Data is the new oil, and cyber security alone is not enough to protect your organisation’s most valuable assets.

A comprehensive enterprise security strategy is key to minimising risk and keeping your data, information and assets safe — and not only in their digital form.

In this session, discover the intersection of cyber security and enterprise security and gain insights to effective policies for maintaining confidentiality and integrity of data regardless of its form.

Takeaways:

• What is enterprise cyber security and why is it important?
• Main types of cyber threats associated with enterprise security and the technology available to mitigate risk
• Best practises for merging physical and cyber security to keep your data safe
• How to roll out an enterprise security strategy that aligns with organisational culture and fosters collaboration for successful integration
• Discover effective policies for maintaining confidentiality and integrity of data regardless of its form

As industries embrace the fourth industrial revolution and criminals find more innovative ways to penetrate critical systems, now is the time to develop a skilled workforce fit to fight cyber crime.

This session will address talent shortage and diversity issues within the cyber security industry as our speakers unpack the unique opportunities for talent diversification in the sector.

Hear from Australian leaders in security as they unpack their plans to promote growth and retention of females and Indigenous Australians and to create an industry that appeals and nurtures the next generation of leaders.

In this session:

• Why diversity in cybersecurity is critical
• How you can build an effective information security team
• How you can re-tool and upskill your security team
• How we can work as an industry to create and promote an industry that appeals to the next generation
• How can you get involved in giving back to the cyber security community
