AI, CYBER RESILIENCE AND CRITICAL SYSTEMS
Building Trusted, Secure and Recoverable Systems
Date to be confirmed
Adelaide, South Australia
Event Overview
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how organisations analyse information, automate decisions, serve customers, manage infrastructure and deliver essential services.
At the same time, organisations are becoming increasingly dependent on interconnected digital platforms, cloud services, data environments, operational technology, external providers and automated systems.
This creates substantial opportunity, but it also introduces new vulnerabilities, dependencies and consequences when systems fail or are compromised.
AI, Cyber Resilience and Critical Systems will examine how organisations can adopt artificial intelligence and digital technologies while maintaining security, accountability, continuity and recovery capability.
From Cybersecurity to Cyber Resilience
Cybersecurity focuses on protecting systems and information from unauthorised access, damage or disruption.
Cyber resilience recognises that prevention alone is not sufficient.
Organisations must also be able to:
Detect unusual activity
Contain incidents
Continue critical services
Operate safely under degraded conditions
Recover systems and data
Communicate with stakeholders
Learn from incidents
Adapt controls as threats and technologies evolve
This is particularly important for critical infrastructure, government, health, aged care, defence, energy, water, transport, finance, telecommunications and other essential service sectors.
