Masterclass 2: Quantifying Cyber and Third-Party Risk

Why vague risk heatmaps fail boards and how expressing top cyber risks in clear financial (dollar) terms drives real prioritisation, measurement, and risk reduction. Turns security from a cost sink into a defensible business enabler.

Masterclass (9:00 am – 2:00 pm) (Sydney)

You should attend if you are a Board member, C-suite leader, or risk or governance professional.

Expressions of Interest - Closed.

Masterclass 3: Defensible Security in the AI Era: Architecture, Resilience, and Emerging Risks – Operationalising

Building modern, AI-aware cyber resilience. Moves beyond traditional perimeter defences to layered, adaptive, behaviour-driven architectures that incorporate zero-trust, predictive AI defences, continuous validation, and secure AI lifecycle management.

Masterclass (9:00 am – 2:00 pm)

Theme Highlights:

  • Architectural blueprints for resilience in the AI era

  • Managing emerging high-impact risks (autonomous subversion, ecosystem dependencies, adaptive threats)

  • Operationalising secure AI adoption while maintaining defensible security postures

You should attend if you are a Security architect, CISO, or in a team building next-generation resilience.

Expressions of Interest will be opening soon.
