Building trust, talent, and resilience in Australia’s cyber future.

Australia continues to play a leading role in advancing cybersecurity capability and resilience across the world, and we were proud to support that mission at CyberCon Melbourne 2025.

Earlier this month, our Chief Executive Officer, Nick Benson, joined our APAC Team to connect with partners, regulators, and peers advancing assurance, standards, and professionalisation across Australia and the region’s digital ecosystem.

Our Director Asia Pacific, Nigel Phair, also contributed to important conversations exploring the human factors of cybersecurity, the evolving workforce landscape, and the impact of policy and geopolitics on digital resilience.

The conference was an opportunity for us to connect with many of our 500+ worldwide accredited Member companies, training providers, and the wider community. At our annual Australasia Community Dinner, we were joined by cyber leaders and senior representatives from across government, industry, and academia, reinforcing the strong sense of collaboration and shared purpose that defines the cyber sector.

A sincere thank you to the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) for delivering another outstanding conference, and to everyone who joined us in Melbourne, Sydney, and Canberra to champion capability, community, and collaboration.

Our theme in 2025 is “Transform to Evolve”

In an era where digital frontiers are continuously expanding and evolving, the Australian Cyber Conference 2025 embraces the pivotal theme: Transform to Evolve. This theme underscores the imperative for cyber security practices to adapt and innovate in response to the rapidly changing digital landscape. Our aim is to start a profound transformation in the way cyber security is perceived, practiced, and implemented, fostering a resilient and dynamic cyber security ecosystem.

The Australian Cyber Conference 2025 aims to serve as a catalyst for transformation and evolution in the cyber security domain. By bringing together thought leaders, innovators, policymakers, and practitioners, we will explore and set new paradigms for cyber security strategies, technologies, and policies that align with the future of digital interactions, transactions, and infrastructures.
