What’s In Store for 2024

Australia’s federal agencies are confronting an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape, where threats evolve, and adversaries grow more sophisticated. From nation-state actors to cybercriminals, adversaries are relentless in their pursuit of sensitive data and critical infrastructure.

The recent shift towards remote work has not only transformed the workplace but also heightened cybersecurity risks. Balancing productivity with security, securing remote access, and protecting sensitive government data have become paramount.

As agencies adapt to new ways of working, strategies for protecting sensitive data and ensuring business continuity in the face of cyber disruptions will be a focus. Join Public Sector Network’s 2nd Annual Australian Cyber Security Showcase as we bring together cybersecurity experts and industry leaders to dissect the issues, share best practices, and foster collaboration.

Deep Dive Into Two Dedicated Streams

PROACTIVE STRENGTHENING AND RESILIENCE

The proactive resilience and strengthening stream will focus on the cyber development landscape and how processes are used to communicate to the whole workforce. We will discuss digital transformation, creating a cyber security culture, and how to prioritise networks.

INCIDENT RESPONSE AND COLLABORATION

The incident response stream will discuss identifying attacks, what type of cyber-attacks can occur, and what software and systems can be used to mitigate these. Cyber leaders will take us through the journey of how these can be identified and halted in their tracks.
