THE FUTURE OF INNOVATION &

THE BIG CISO QUESTION

Amazon Web Services, Level 37, 2 Park Street, Sydney

Sydney, this is what you have been waiting for. It's big; It involves months of hard work; and now, I am very pleased to announce a Cyber Risk meetup exclusive that you do not want to miss. Presenting two very special segments, all condensed into a single night.

In support of ISACA's SheLeadsTech initiative, we searched far and wide to bring some of the most amazing women leaders together on this panel discussing the Future of Innovation. Hear from the COO of Safety Culture, the creators of the world's most used safety and quality inspection app, the Head of IT Security at icare NSW, and the Executive Manager of Digital Assurance at CBA.

Part two of this evening session offers a panel that is not afraid of addressing any controversies. Hear from our C-Suite: CISO, and CTOs, on the elephant in the room, 'Where do I put my CISOs?'
