Agenda
An insightful look into the latest threats facing cloud infrastructures and innovative strategies to combat them.
In a climate of tighter budgets and rising threats, cloud security leaders are being challenged to deliver more value with fewer resources. This session explores how to balance compliance, resilience, and ROI in modern cloud environments. Focusing on smarter investment, automation, and risk-based prioritisation to keep defences strong and costs under control.
- Focus resources on high-impact cloud security controls that deliver measurable ROI
- Use automation and risk-based prioritisation to maintain compliance efficiently
- Build resilient cloud security programs that adapt to financial and operational constraints
An interactive session where attendees participate in managing a simulated cloud security breach across multiple platforms.
Demonstrating how to use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools to automate compliance and security checks in cloud deployments.
A deep dive into utilizing artificial intelligence to predict and prevent security threats before they occur.
Cloud environments are now the front line of global cyber conflict. From AI-assisted attacks and supply-chain compromises to geopolitical campaigns targeting critical infrastructure, the threat landscape is evolving faster than ever. This international panel brings together leading CISOs and Cybersecurity experts to unpack how global trends are reshaping cloud defence strategies and what it means for Australian and Asia-Pacific organisations in 2026.
- Understand how global cyber conflicts and AI-driven attacks are reshaping cloud security strategies.
- Learn how to strengthen resilience against supply-chain and geopolitical threats.
- Explore what emerging global trends mean for Australian and Asia-Pacific cloud defences in 2026
Select a topic of discussion and engage in an interactive roundtable discussion with a group of your like-minded peers.
As AI accelerates innovation across the cloud, it also introduces new risks. In this session, Pooja from David Jones explores how to protect AI models, data, and pipelines without slowing progress, ensuring security, compliance, and transparency remain at the core of every AI-driven initiative.
- Build Secure Foundations: Protect AI models, data, and APIs from evolving threats
- Balance Speed and Safety: Embed security into AI workflows without stifling innovation
- Sustain Trust at Scale: Maintain transparency, compliance, and ethical governance across AI operations
As cloud environments expand and threats evolve, organisations must find smarter, more resilient approaches to cloud defence. This think tank invites cybersecurity and technology leaders to discuss how to balance innovation, compliance, and cost, while preparing for emerging risks driven by AI, automation, and global instability.
- Which area poses the biggest challenge for future cloud security resilience?
- When budgets tighten, what’s the best way to maintain strong cloud defences?
