When you have no expectations and do a task with "open mind, will and heart" - there will be maximum benefits. It proved again.
A sincere thanks to AISA for accepting me as a volunteer at helpdesk – my conversations started with cyber by design with an architect and extended to cyber in SMB sector. The discussions continued meeting other professionals in GRC area which I like most.
My reflections of the session are
Cyber law and compliance –Two keynote speakers from a CISO, a judge and few other panel discussions/sessions from lawyers / policy experts confirms the trend that cyber is catching up standards, policies, governance, regulations/risk and compliance.
Future is now - Student volunteers – So active and energetic on the floor is our future workforce with a spark in their eyes admiring the environment with a lot of hope.
I am sure the delegates have found interesting and benefitted from “Ask an Expert” sessions as I observed long queues whenever I was passing the area.
Hurray! I could attended a workshop, installed Kali Purple and started playing with defence approach.
Knowledge sharing sessions – I focussed on psychology, awareness sessions to see on what’s going on human interface and consciousness on cyber. The sessions are insightful, quantitative and confirmance to our behaviours.
Think tank / Research sessions – Now its about my research topic --- critical infrastructure security. In Australia, we speak a lot about "Net Zero by 2030". First time, I am delighted to connect this to "Cyber Resliency". A couple of sesssions confirmed the OT security challenges and seems to be the wicked problem of Critical Infrastructure. In my view, it is more evident in the renewable energy sector.
My refined statement is -- "We are connecting legacy devices and latest vulnerable IoT devices to a _<Fill in the blank>_ infrastructure".
My key question is -- What kind of cyber infrastructure are we building today? What immediate actions and strategic steps can we take in the next 3-5 years, as well as long-term, to ensure a resilient and beneficial legacy for future generations?
