Towards a Cyber Secure Tasmania
Cyber Security is crucial for every business, government department and not-for-profit organisation.
In a fast-changing world of cyber threats, join us to hear the latest advice on protecting your organisation and your customers from cyber attack.
The TasICT-AISA Cyber Conference is your chance to get up-to-date information and resources and link with vendors and local ICT businesses to help you stay cyber safe.

Advice
CEOs and business leaders must understand evolving cyber security threats and defences. Understanding cyber security enables strategic investment and helps leaders stay in control before, during and after a cyber incident.
CIOs and technical teams must stay updated on the latest cyber security threats and defences to protect their organisation’s digital infrastructure and client data. Technical leaders can proactively strengthen system protection, advise on the best security investments, and ensure compliance with industry standards.
Hear from experts at the cutting-edge of cyber security. The latest tips and predictions from the frontline of cyber defence, draw on real-word examples and case studies that can help your organisation stay ahead of cyber crime.
