The information security industry is maturing, as demonstrated with the different areas in the Cyber Domain diagram. It can be confusing where and how to get started, also which skills and experiences are used in each areas. We have assembled some of the best industry experts across Australia (Cloud, GRC/Compliance, Red Teaming & PenTesting, Forensics & DFIR, CISO & Management Roles and Defensive Security). Come loaded with your questions and spend some time with these people to help you understand your area/s of interest better and learn more about each space. Industry Expert Bios:
