Uniting public sector leaders to advance  national cyber resilience

CISO Canberra taking place on 22 September 2026 is dedicated to the public sector infosec community, bringing leaders together to explore policy and operational reality shaping cyber security delivery across government.

Four key themes guide this year’s programme, focusing on resilience, operational delivery, emerging threats, and leadership capability under pressure and constraint.

Join us for the sessions and beyond, where discussions on resilience, operations, emerging threats, and leadership are complemented by the opportunity to connect with peers and build trusted networks in support of a shared cyber security mission.

Our key themes for 2026

Resilience, practised

Move beyond stated intent to focus on how resilience is exercised in real conditions, with endurance by design when systems must continue operating.

Threats in flux

Assess how emerging technologies, evolving threat activity, and geopolitical volatility are reshaping the attack surface, and how organisations adapt safely in response.

 Operationalising the baseline

Examine the structural realities that influence cyber risk across government environments, and the practical trade‑offs leaders manage where change is constrained.

 Leading behaviour and capacity

Explore the influence of human behaviour, capability and decision-making on cyber outcomes and how leadership actions shape resilience and risk under pressure.
