Its a wrap on: Future of AI & Cybersecurity Lunch & Learn Thank you to everyone who joined us at Aus3C yesterday for an eye-opening session on AI-powered cyber threats led by Mick McCluney (CTO at Trend Micro AMEA). We delved into how AI can supercharge scams and phishing and influence operations, potentially redefining the cybersecurity landscape by 2025 and beyond. Key Takeaways: - AI-driven attacks are evolving rapidly, targeting organisations and small businesses alike. - Next-gen phishing campaigns use deepfake tech to enhance deception. - Collaboration between cybersecurity experts and AI developers is vital to stay ahead. We hope you walked away with practical strategies and insights to fortify your defences. Stay tuned for more sessions as we explore the future of tech and security! #Cybersecurity #AI #ThreatIntelligence #TrendMicro #Aus3C #LunchAndLearn

Strengthen Australia's Data Governance! It's 2025, and valuable data is still being left out in the open. This Safe Internet Day, consider how does your organisation classify and secure its data?    From research in collaboration with CSIRO's Data61, we found that organisations use up to 10 different frameworks to guide their cybersecurity approach. Let's make this more simple - we need your help!   Join us to share your organisation's insights on data to help inform the development of a Voluntary Data Classification Framework (VDCF) for the Australian industry – a key measure under the 2023-2030 Australian Cybersecurity Strategy.   Join the conversation: https://lnkd.in/gpMeQDkb More information: https://lnkd.in/gMdv3Jt4   Workshop Dates: 📍 Sydney: Tuesday 18th February – 9:30 am – 12:30 pm Hosted at University of Technology Sydney, 15 Broadway, Ultimo, NSW 2000 📍 Brisbane: Wednesday 19th February – 9:30 am – 12:30 pm Hosted at The University of Queensland, CBD Campus – The Atrium, 308 Queen St, Brisbane, QLD 4000 📍 Melbourne: Wednesday 26th February – 9:30 am – 12:30 pm Hosted at nbn® Australia, Tower 5, 727 Collins St, Docklands, VIC 3008   Thank you to our venue partners!
