Who is heading to the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) Melbourne Cyber Conference - it is only a month away now 😯 I will be speaking with Kyle Waters in room 219 on Thursday, the 16th of October, from 11:20 am to 12:00 pm. Our talk is: How to train your Jedi: The importance of mentoring in cyber. Now, I think we do okay, but if Kyle and I are not quite the headline speakers you are looking for (Although I think we do a pretty good job of making fun of each other on stage - if not educational, it will at least be entertaining), you can also check out these amazing headline speakers: * Lt Gen Michelle M., National Cyber Security Coordinator. * Theresa Payton ✪, first female White House CIO * Brian Krebs, investigative journalist and award-winning author. * Guenther Steiner, F1 leader and Drive to Survive favourite. * Kari Byron, STEM advocate and MythBusters legend. * Tim Brown, adviser from Congress to the White House Situation Room, now SolarWinds CISO. * Dr Jordan Nguyen, innovator and founder of Psykinetic. * Bailey Marshall, online safety hero for parents, guardians and educators. * Michael Rogers – former NSA Director. You can register for a ticket here if you don't have yours already - https://lnkd.in/guV7X6Ka Should be a fun few days down in Melbourne. I am really looking forward to it. Who else is heading along? As always, if you see me walking around, make sure you come and say Hi... it's always good to catchup and make new connections. #CyberCon2025 #AISACyberCon2025 #AISA

It’s going to be an awesome conference, and yes, we will be doing an awesome talk, one talk among many. I personally can’t wait to hear many of the speakers this year, especially the keynote and featured speakers.
