Canberra Manager’s Forum with Stephanie Crowe, ASD

Join AIIA members and guests at the October Canberra Manager’s Forum where Stephanie’s presentation will examine the evolving cyber threat landscape and the growing impact of AI on cyber security.

While AI presents significant opportunities, it is also enabling state-sponsored cyber actors and cybercriminals to identify vulnerabilities, develop exploits and conduct attacks at greater scale and speed. As cyber incidents continue to increase, organisations must focus on preparedness and resilience.

The presentation will highlight the five key actions ASD is asking organisations to prioritise: reducing legacy IT, implementing effective event logging, strengthening supply chain security, preparing for post-quantum cryptography, and the secure use of AI.

The presentation will conclude by reinforcing the importance of collective action to strengthen Australia's cyber resilience in an increasingly complex threat environment.
