Agenda
By 2040, Australia’s workforce will be transformed by advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and automation. In this talk, we explore how humans and intelligent machines will work together to reshape industries and redefine job roles. From AI-powered collaboration tools to autonomous systems in manufacturing, businesses must adapt to these changes to remain competitive. As remote work technologies evolve, hybrid models will become the norm, requiring new management approaches and talent strategies.
Additionally, the emergence of AI-enhanced decision-making and skills augmentation will enable employees to focus on creative, high-impact tasks. This session will provide insights into how companies can prepare for the shift, harnessing these tools to foster innovation, improve productivity, and maintain a human-centered approach in a tech-driven environment.
AI adoption is moving faster than the controls meant to govern it, leaving IT leaders caught between the pressure to transform and the risk of losing visibility and control. Data leakage, unpredictable agent behavior, and fragmented tooling can erode trust in AI programs before they deliver value. This session tackles the central question leaders face: How do we scale AI responsibly without slowing innovation? We outline a practical Secure AI by Design approach that helps leaders govern AI use, protect AI development, and create the conditions for transformation that is fast, safe, and sustainable.
Witness the future of security in action. As technology breaks new ground and Artificial Intelligence leads the momentum, new challenges are emerging on the horizon:
- How can we stay secure in a world where an autonomous agentic workforce aids human tasks at machine speed?
- How do we mitigate the shrinking timeline to Quantum availability, capable of breaking our entire encryption framework?
- Can we leverage the power of AI for truly useful cybersecurity tasks, without compromising on accuracy or trust?
Join us to explore how platformization is redefining the fight. We’ll unveil the latest innovations charting the course for SOC automation, cloud, and quantum. Experience firsthand how a unified architecture turns today’s complexity into your greatest strategic advantage.
Attackers are moving faster than ever, using GenAI, cloud complexity, and over-permissioned access to bypass traditional defenses.
Join Philippa Cogswell and a panel of leading ANZ security practitioners for a raw, case-study-driven deep dive into the front lines of the AI threat landscape. This panel brings together key experts to discuss the most critical challenges facing enterprises today and the collaborative strategies that are making a difference.
