As we enter an era dominated by technological innovation, it becomes crucial to comprehend both the risks and opportunities associated with adopting these technologies.

Generative AI and deep-learning models are revolutionising the way people produce, receive and interpret information.

If you or your organisation are exploring the benefits of using Generative AI tools, and have questions including:

  • How safe is Generative AI? What are the risks related to privacy, data sovereignty and cyber security?
  • What challenges arise from algorithmic biases? How do AI models sometimes ‘hallucinate’?
  • What capabilities does Generative AI have today and in the future?

Answers to these questions and more will be answered by experts at the 2024 Australian Cyber Conference in Canberra from March 25 to 27.

The conference theme is “Future is Now” and will bring together experts, professionals and enthusiasts from around the globe to discuss, collaborate and share insights on the ever-evolving field of cyber security.

  • Incident response and threat hunting: Understanding effective incident response plans and recovery strategies post-cyber-attack
  • Human Elements & Criminology: Highlighting the importance of awareness programs for maintaining a cyber-secure environment
  • Governance, Risk & Compliance: Best practices for addressing uncertainties tied to technology use
  • Executives & Board: Navigating the complex regulatory and legal landscape to fulfil their fiduciary duties

While AI will be a hot topic, there will be many emerging technologies highlighted at the conference including quantum computing, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the latest in Cloud Security.

“Today’s complex cyber challenges require a collaborative effort between government, industry, academia and individuals,” AISA board chair Akash Mittal said.

“Information and knowledge sharing through strong partnerships are integral to enhancing cyber resilience.

“By embracing the digital era’s opportunities and challenges, conference attendees will gain insights and strategies that will contribute to a safer and more resilient digital future.”

The capabilities of AI and other rapidly evolving technology makes cyber security not only a vital aspect of daily life, but an urgent one.
