Topic 1: Data protection in Cloud

Topic 2: CEOs, you’re in denial on cybersecurity
Only 6 per cent of chief executives responding to a survey said that their organisations had suffered a data breach in the last year. Gergana will present the findings from speaking with 88 CEOs and 54 chief information security officers (CISO) across the private and public sector. 

 "There’s definitely a lack of communication between the two. One-third [of CEOs] believe cybersecurity is an IT or operations issue. So they do not see it as a business priority and as a consequence, they don't [include] it as part of their business planning"

Many of Australia’s chief executive officers are in denial about or simply unaware of cybersecurity threats to their organisations, according to a new report. Come hear Gergana speak on the disconnect and what needs to be done.
