SEMMA October Manufacturers Lunch

This event is exclusive to manufacturers.

Join SEMMA for a manufacturers exclusive networking lunch featuring a presentation from 2025 Cyber Security Business of the Year, De Stefano & Co.

Cyber Security in Manufacturing: Understanding the threats and strengthening your business

Cyber threats are continuing to evolve in scale and sophistication, creating growing risks for Australian manufacturers and the supply chains they support. In this presentation, Jeremy Watkinson, Head of Protective Security Services at De Stefano & Co, will provide an overview of the current global and Australian cyber threat landscape and what it means for manufacturing businesses. 

Jeremy will explore practical steps organisations can take to strengthen their cyber security posture, from improving everyday security practices through to adopting recognised frameworks and standards. The session will discuss Australian, US and international standards including where these frameworks may become relevant for businesses seeking opportunities within Australian and international Defence supply chains and other regulated sectors.Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of today’s cyber risks, the different security uplift pathways available, and practical considerations for building greater cyber resilience within their organisations.

This is your chance to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and build valuable business relationships in a relaxed and collaborative setting.

Plus, stay up to date with SEMMA’s latest initiatives and our continued advocacy for the manufacturing sector.

Don’t miss this opportunity to stay connected, informed, and inspired.
