What does the new Cyber Security Strategy mean for Startups, SME's and their Customers?

Join us for this important one-hour online discussion, unpacking of the recently released Cyber Security Strategy and Plan for the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem in Australia and their customers.

Millions of Australians have had their data stolen and released online in the past year. Startups and SMEs have a unique and timely opportunity to contribute innovation to this critical area. The global cyber industry is growing rapidly, and Australia can be a leader in the space; the current government is making Cyber Security an urgent national priority. An author of the strategy, Brendan Dowling will be joining us as a speaker.
