At the start of 2021 Kylie McDevitt left her role as Technical Director in the Australian Government and with her husband Silvio Cesare, formerly Director of Education at the University of NSW Cyber Security Centre, have transformed a warehouse in Canberra and started a hackerspace called InfoSect.

Inspired by groups like the L0pht in the USA, they have left their career roles and set out full time on their own to build a place to hangout with other hackers and do cool research. This is their story...so far!

To realistically transform data protection there are complex considerations, competing priorities and some new approaches that need to be adopted.

This is an informative panel discussion with the CISO of Flybuys, Alex Loizou, Strategic Business Director of Forcepoint, Nick Savvides and hosted by Chris Cubbage of MySecurity Media.

SESSION FOCUS:

Common data protection challenges organisations are facing during security transformation projects;

Insights into the FlyBuys experience. What the Flybuys' CISO considered as part of their security transformation project, including security terminology, team changes and culture;

Key advice and takeaways for those planning or about to execute a security transformation project at their organisation.

OVERVIEW

We’re in a constant state of transformation where technology and security requirements are changing rapidly.

Over the last 18 months, organisations have seen large scale changes in terms of where employees are working from, the use of cloud applications and importantly, to our network design patterns.

While digital transformation and security management has been the core focus of this rapid change, it’s been slower moving in the data protection space, which has always been a complex area.

There are an array of considerations, competing priorities and some new approaches that need to be adopted.
