FIVE-PART WEBINAR SERIES
Security and resilience for critical infrastructure. Is your organisation secure?
Both Government and industry have myriad risks to consider – cyberattack and hacking, natural hazards, climate change, espionage and sabotage, terrorism, foreign interference, criminal activity, and ‘trusted insider’ threats – so how can the public and private sectors best work together to understand and mitigate them?
This series of webinars will discuss the full range of risks faced by Australian entities in the 21st century – and speak to the ways in which Government is working with industry to build national resilience and support our shared prosperity.
Join us for this comprehensive five-part series that will introduce a range of important topics and speakers, culminating in an inaugural Cyber and Infrastructure Security Conference in early 2023.
The webinars are free to attend and will be useful for any staff member of an organisation – not just those in roles managing risk and security day-to-day.
