Cyber threats are everywhere — every country around the world is dealing with cybercrime and trying to keep their societies cyber safe with the onslaught of technological advancements in connected devices, apps, and cloud-enabled services.

I was there to join the conversation, took some pictures (have a look below), and captured a recap podcast with:
Brian Honan, IRISSCERT
Dan Raywood, Infosecurity Magazine
Emma Heffernan, Student & Part-Time Security Analyst
Jenny Radcliffe, The People Hacker
Thom Langford, (TL)2 Security
The group provides a quick recap on the key takeaways from the conference, some thoughts on the state of cybersecurity in the region, and other things on their mind (evidently rugby is big thing… 😬).
We have a few laughs as well.
Go ahead. Have a listen. You know you want to. You have to hear Thom’s Darth Vader voice, if nothing else.
