For security teams on the front lines and those of us in the business of stopping cyberattacks and breaches, 2021 provided no rest for the weary. In the face of massive disruption brought about by the COVID- driven social, economic and technological shifts of 2020, adversaries refined their tradecraft to become even more sophisticated and brazen. We discuss key data points and how our industry is combatting the adversarial plague.
When the scales are tipped in an attacker's favour and teams don't have the time to do it all, traditional SecOps approaches to implement detection and response capabilities can add to the chaos.
In this session, we will explore the necessary evolution of detection and response, moving past SIEM, to fulfill the desire for something better. You'll learn how XDR, powered by unique collaborators like Rapid7 and Mimecast can give you the freedom to focus on what matters most.
Michael Ferguson, Netskope SSE Evangelist, will talk about how the new security architecture of Security Services Edge will provide businesses with outcomes and capabilities we haven't had before. During his session Michael Ferguson will discuss the potential of Context Based Policies to deliver Zero Trust Frameworks, AI/ML to assist your team in protecting your digital assets in the cloud, and how cloud based access doesn't need to have a trade-off in performance, experience or security.

When will we get cybersecurity herd immunity in Australia? How can we use aptitude to measure skills potential and set ourselves for training success?
Can Quantum future-proof or potentially unhinge our digital systems? And why aren’t hackers like Angelina Jolie? Let’s walk through the status quo and challenge our ideas of what cybersecurity looks like from a leadership perspective. Challenge current thinking and recognise what pathways we have that we can start down now to ensure that corporate Australia can lead the charge and help secure our sovereign systems.
