About this event
Bringing People, Process, Policy and Partners together to build a cyber risk aware culture.
Technology controls are an important pilar of any cyber security strategy, whether it be small to medium businesses, larger organisations or government agencies. Technology tools can assist to protect and detect against cyber threats, and yet people are often the first line of defence. 40% of cyber attacks start with a phishing event and it is therefore imperative that people are equipped with the knowledge to become more cyber security risk aware.
Join our panel of experts to discuss how People, Process and Policy can go a long way to build cyber resiliency, and how trusted Partners can assist Cyber Security teams to implement strategies quicker.
Event is co-presented with nbn and James Cook University.
