2026 WA Cyber Security Leadership Summit
28th & 29th July

Operating under high pressure, cyber security leaders play a crucial role in strengthening infrastructure, ensuring compliance, managing incidents, and fostering collaboration. They are leveraging both business and technical knowledge to enhance security resilience and preparedness.

Through discussion and knowledge-sharing, the 2026 program will explore the intersection of business objectives, data protection, security principles, cyber security posture, risk assessments, human behaviour and literacy. These discussions aim to help attendees develop their own strategies and roadmaps for navigating the cyber landscape beyond 2026.
