SUMMARY:BrisSEC 2026
DESCRIPTION:We look forward to supporting the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) as they hold the upcoming BrisSEC 2026! \nAbout the event \nThe annual AISA Queensland Cyber Security Conference – BrisSEC\, brings together AISA members and the Sunshine State cybersecurity community to strengthen connections\, celebrate achievements\, and foster meaningful collaboration. \nThe BrisSEC 2026 conference theme\, The race to secure the Sunshine State\, recognises that cybersecurity is a continuous contest. We compete across technology\, governance\, and people to protect\, detect\, and respond to threats that are always gaining speed. \nThis year’s conference will include discussions about how to face adversaries that adapt faster than control design and implementation\, governance decisions made under pressure\, and helping our teams and each other across the finish line.
