Cyber-Security for Government Summit 2022 | Akolade | 25 July 2022 | Hotel Swissôtel, 68 Market St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

The summit offers an in-depth look at how national and international organisations are building their cyber-defences, in an increasingly vulnerable environment.

This event is tailored for organisations that are building their cyber-defence capabilities, as the cyber-threats and intrusions escalate.

The program offers practical knowledge to develop a cyber threat intelligence program as cyber-attacks escalate.

This trend is highlighted by governments being warned to improve resilience in a heightened threat environment.

The agenda also spotlights the action plan to build the government’s cyber-resilience capability, together with a look at future cyber-security funding, amendments to cyber-security legislation, and cyber-security policies across all tiers of government.

The agenda is tailored for cyber and information security professionals directly responsible for protecting government assets, critical infrastructure, and data against malicious actors.

Attend this summit and learn how to:
• Safeguard essential services from cyber-attacks
• Combat criminal online activity targeting infrastructure and assets
• Identify new threats from malicious actors and adversaries
• Assess the heightened levels of risk and alerts
• Manage the cost of highly sophisticated intrusions
