Resilient Australia: Securing our social and economic systems

There is a point of intersection between behavioural science and cybersecurity that has become a key focus for businesses and governments working to keep customers and citizens safe.

That space between trust and technology has been closely monitored by security professionals for as long as data has been accessible online.

But accelerated shifts in technology are driving unsettling changes to the cyber domain. Establishing and maintaining trust are a bedrock for ecommerce and government service delivery, but has become more difficult.

InnovationAus.com will host an exclusive Resilient Australia: Building security in a data-driven world forum at the National Gallery in Canberra on April 10.

Hosted by Hamish Macdonald, ABC journalist and co-host of the Radio National programs Global Roaming and Take Me to Your Leader!, this forum looks at trust and technology, and strategies for building resilience into social and economic systems.

What: Resilient Australia: Building security in a data-driven world

When: Thursday April 10, 4:00pm – 6:00pm

Where: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra

From deepfakes to AI-driven phishing programs to news-jacking and automated personnel targeting, the changes are powerful and profound.

The tools available are sophisticated and powerful, including for manipulating behaviour. There are also macro-level security threats, driven by geopolitical competition – targeting both social and economic systems.

Developing strategies for building resilience into these social and economic systems has become a central focus for governments around the world.

Join host InnovationAus.com and master of ceremonies Hamish McDonald for a lively discussion that goes beyond the narrow technical confines of cybersecurity and into the big picture.

The Resilient Australia forum is an investigation of the tectonic shifts in technology and its impact on Australia’s systems of government, business, commerce and social interaction.

Limited numbers of seats are available for this invitation-only discussion. Here’s how to get in the room.
