A two-stream event assembling key cyber stakeholders to address modern strategies for organisational defence and resilience
The Cyber Resilience Summit NSW will bring together over 250 leaders across two streams covering IT and Operational Technology Environments. The event will explore strategic themes including the influence of global events and geopolitics on Australian cyber security and the changing risk landscape caused by AI. We will also address more technical conversations such as adversary emulation, security assurance, OT visibility, vulnerability management and incident response and recovery plans.
Join senior leaders to connect and collaborate across two distinctive streams:
IT Security Stream: AI risk frameworks and controls, threat detection/response, adversary emulation, identity, resilience
OT Security Stream: Network visibility, vulnerability management, critical infrastructure, ICS/SCADA security, segmentation
This cybersecurity conference brings together a high-level audience of CISOs, CIOs, Heads of Cyber, OT, Threat Intelligence, Risk and Technology across 13+ sessions and 21+ speakers. The event will facilitate practical, local insights while providing the opportunity to engage with fellow attendees and speakers.
