Welcome to La Trobe University's Clever Conversations.
In this episode from our Bold Thinking series, we meet some of Australia’s lead digital defenders and ask just how private and secure our hi-tech devices really are.
You'll hear from some of the people guarding our homes, public institutions and businesses from an ever-growing hoard of global attackers at the door. The panel includes:
- Professor Jill Slay, a leader in cyber-crime and detection, and the Optus La Trobe Chair of Cyber Security.
- Professor David Watts, one of Australia’s leading data protection experts with experience as a regulator, policy maker, consultant and public and private sector lawyer.
- Simon Ractliff, Head of Cyber Security at telecommunication giant Optus.
- Meegan Haas, a Cyber and Forensic Services Partner at Price Water House Coopers.
Award-winning ABC journalist Elysse Morgan will ask if the pace of technology is keeping up with the need to safeguard our businesses, governments and private lives from intrusion.
