CSO Security Summit, Melbourne, 22nd November.
The sharp rise in local data breaches has exposed a serious weakness in cyber strategies across Australia, as businesses emerge from the shadow of COVID-19 with a mountain of post-pandemic security challenges.
Whether it’s government departments in New South Wales, Western Australia and Northern Territory, or organisations such as Toll Group, Eastern Health and Tasmanian Ambulance, a series of high-profile attacks continue to arrive in force on local shores. Such attacks have been accelerated further by the shift to remote working and thereafter a return to the office as restrictions eased, with a hybrid state of play emerging as CISOs navigate a fluid and evolving enterprise.
According to Security Priorities Research commissioned by CSO Australia, 90% of security leaders are currently falling short in addressing cyber risk. Some are doubling budgets, and others are outsourcing more security functions than ever before. Either way, a clear direction of travel is emerging with CISOs re-evaluating how they manage risk and secure data in the workforce.
The CSO Security Summit 2022 will document the new strategies required to mitigate rising threat levels in a remote and hybrid enterprise, outlining emerging cyber challenges, and key areas of business focus in the months ahead.

Cyber through a crystal ball: What's ahead for 2023
Susie Jones, CEO
Cynch Security
As 2022 comes closer to its end, our first keynote speaker will outline where the state of cyber security, cyber risk, and cyber crime is at now, and outline some educated predictions on which aspects will change in 2023.
Building on these predictions, Susie will have some suggestions on which strategies you could take next year to be better prepared and resilient in the face of constant change.
The State of Cybersecurity and the Need for Modernisation
Andrew Milroy, Founder & CEO Veqtor8
Today's cybersecurity controls are rarely fit for purpose. As hybrid working becomes the norm and enterprises work with multiple clouds, a new approach to cybersecurity is necessary.
This presentation will discuss the state of cybersecurity in Australia and the urgent need for modernization. It will highlight the need for enterprises to assume that breaches will occur and to adapt their procedures accordingly.
*Agenda subject to change.
