Last Thursday we had The Annual Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub Industry Workshop and what a day it was !
A full day of prestigious speakers, panelists and researchers presenting their research and pitching ideas under the theme of "Demystifying Cyber Security and Enabling Explicit Trust".
"It is not only about securing computers (anymore) but also and perhaps more importantly about securing our societies, our economies, our democracies, our critical infrastructure, our health systems, etc... but a successful Cyber security journey is not a journey that can happen naturally, it has to be properly architected to be a success!" Prof Dali Kaafar, Executive Director, Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub.
Such positive energy, discussions, exploration of collaboration avenues and exchange of ideas amongst all the experts gathered in one room! With representatives from all over the Industry covering the topics of Trust in Data, Trust in Systems, Trust in People, and Trust in Technology and how best to collaborate to tackle the tangled challenges of cyber security, It was simply Outstanding.
We wish to thank each and every one of you for taking part and contributing to this incredible event. So many collaboration opportunities between Industry and Academia have arisen. This is just the beginning!
