Location: Federation University Australia, Berwick Campus, 100 Clyde Rd, Berwick 3806

Is your South-East Melbourne business cyber-ready?

In 2026, digital trust is a commercial requirement. Customers, suppliers and government buyers expect businesses to demonstrate good cybersecurity practices and responsible AI use often as part of tenders, onboarding and due-diligence checks.

This isn’t just a tech problem. It’s a revenue, risk and reputation issue and for businesses in the South East Melbourne corridor, the stakes are real.

This event is your practical, local answer. No technical deep dive. Just clear tools, local context and a realistic plan you can implement in your business straight away.

Cyber and AI‑related threats are growing fast and knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Join us for a practical, business‑focused event where you will learn simple steps to take right now and affordable options to strengthen your systems over time.

You can build stronger digital foundations, navigate emerging risks and increase customer trust with insights from experts who understand local business challenges and can point you to the tools, support and talent to move forward with confidence.

You will also have the chance to connect with other local businesses and meet Federation University’s work‑ready cyber security students over drinks and canapes.
