About this event
Cybersecurity awareness is now at an all-time high, thanks in part to widely publicised breaches that we read about on an almost monthly basis. However many businesses, small and large, still underestimate the potential for a cyber-attack against their organisation -- and the cost to their business -- should one occur, now estimated to be around $419,000 (ACS Australia’s Digital Pulse 2017 report).
Professional Year Students please note: This event will not contribute to your Professional Year student requirements.
Special guest:
- Alastair MacGibbon, Special Adviser to the Prime Minister on Cyber Security
- David Shearer, CEO of ISC2
- Matt Loeb, CEO of ISACA
- Professor Jill Slay, Head of ACS’ Cyber Taskforce
