Watch NowEvent Overview
We are seeing the industrialisation of cybercrime at an unprecedented scale. With cyber-attacks potentially compounded by rapidly evolving technologies, we must actively gain a front foot in building cyber resilience, intelligence capabilities, and critical infrastructure protection capabilities to guard our national interests, citizens, organisations and infrastructure. Governments and organisations are developing strategies and action plans to deal with this massive increase in incidents, but new concerns continue to rise. A resilient national cyber ecosystem is fundamental to our future. We all have a role to play in securing our digital future – from all levels of government, businesses, communities, and individuals
This conversation will explore enhancing cyber defence strategies against emerging threats, identifying vulnerabilities, and empowering the ecosystem to develop a strong foundation of cyber resilience. How can we build a cyber-resilient ecosystem that can keep pace with the attacks that are getting more sophisticated? How can we better assure digital trust with a ‘secure by design’ and integrated approach? How are the consumer and partner expectations and behaviours evolving? How will AI influence the cyber security landscape? Join us to find out more in this virtual conversation.
