A Hypothetical Cybersecurity Crisis

When

Event Status

What happens when critical infrastructure comes under attack, and risks escalate with each passing hour? How could we respond to multipronged cyber-attacks, crippling power supply and public institutions? And what if the threat appears to have been instigated by one of our regional neighbours?

At the second event in our This Is Not a Drill series, Ali Moore and our expert panellists will confront a high-stakes hypothetical security hack, weighing up threats and options and devising the best tactical response at pace.

Presented in partnership with Asialink, the University of Melbourne.
