Australian Cyber Security Awards 2024 | Momentum Media Pty Ltd | 28 March 2024 | National Convention Centre Canberra, 31 Constitution Ave, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia

The Australian Cyber Security Awards is back for its second year after a highly successful first year. The awards are designed to bring you an unparalleled awards program identifying the top businesses and professionals in the cyber sector across the nation.

Recognising people and businesses rather than products and platforms, the Australian Cyber Security Awards universally acknowledge all cyber stakeholders — from defence, insurance, cloud services, and technology through to those working in STEM, consultancy and ransomware protection.

The awards are open to all businesses operating in Australia supporting the cyber security supply chain and are coveted accolades for organisations and professionals seeking to cement their role in cyber security.
