CISO SYDNEY
focus day | CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
CISO Sydney 2023 will premiere our first 2-stream Focus Day designed to target two key areas, DevSecOps and Critical Infrastructure. This full-day pre-conference will allow you to get together with your peers for a day of networking and interactive conversations to share and learn new approaches to progress your strategies.
Stream 1 | Critical Infrastructure
Join NSW Government and senior InfoSec leaders for clarity on the SOCI Act Reform and best-practice CI protection.
Although the SOCI Act Reform came into effect earlier in 2022, organisations are still unclear around their obligations and exemptions.
How well do you understand the contingency act and stepping power? How prepared are you to meet compliance requirements should your organisation need to respond to and recover from a cyber-attack?
As part of CISO Sydney 2023, we are bringing you Critical Infrastructure Focus Day, taking place on the 20th February 2023 at Royal Randwick Racecourse to help you answer those – and many others – questions.
Critical Infrastructure Focus Day is designed for CISOs, CSOs, Directors, Heads, Managers of Cyber and Information Security, and cybersecurity practitioners from critical infrastructure sectors in Australia. Joining high-level, strategic conversations with your peers, you will have the opportunity to discuss the key challenges you face protecting your organisation’s critical assets, including:
- NSW Government plans to support organisations prepare for fast-growing cyber threats
- In-depth understanding of the full spectrum and preparing for the SOCI Act Reforms
- Effective ways to detect and prevent real threats to critical infrastructure
- Explore ways to overcome compliance burden and discuss how much regulation is too much
- What you need to consider if you want to go beyond compliance requirements to improve your critical OT
- Strategies to simplify your OT and CI cyber insurance complexities
Join Critical Infrastructure Focus Day and get together with your peers for a day of networking and interactive conversations to share and learn new approaches to progress your strategies.
