Free cyber security and safety debate by leading information professionals from AISA

As an event partner of the DIF2021, AISA is delighted to be involved in the official opening of the festival with a lively debate.  

The provocation: People are the biggest weakness in cyber security and not the technology we use. 

With mobile phones confirming dinner reservations, Facebook giving us new friends and laptops as light as air, AI incorporating in to daily life both at home and work, technology may seem nothing but valuable. But technology can also be a huge hazard to businesses, and the impact on personal lives.

During this presentation, we will explore the research and statistics, case studies and work through the risks to businesses and personal lives, either by the technology or people…which is worse?

Moderator - Damien Manuel – Director of the Centre for CSRI, Deakin University
