Post-event summary: Ctrl+Alt+Defend: Defining the Private Sector's Role in Critical Infrastructure and Supply Chain Security

Hosted at Melbourne Connect at The University of Melbourne and proudly sponsored by Cynet Security and LTS Australia, last Monday’s panel discussion on supply chain and critical infrastructure security was a tremendous success.

The event brought together professionals from across technology, security, infrastructure, innovation, and industry leadership for an evening of insightful discussion and meaningful collaboration. Hosted by Andrew Harris, the panel featured Karen Just of The Walt Disney Company, Chris Zammit of Nationwide, and David Tynan of Palladium Group.

Attendees engaged deeply with the topics discussed, asked thoughtful questions, and shared valuable perspectives drawn from their own industries and experiences. The panel explored emerging security challenges, future opportunities, geopolitical considerations, and the growing need for stronger partnerships between industry, government, and technology providers.

Equally valuable were the conversations that continued well after the formal discussion concluded, with many attendees staying behind to network, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities for future collaboration.

A sincere thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and contributed to making the evening such a success. The energy and engagement throughout the event highlighted the strong appetite for ongoing dialogue and collaboration across the security sector, and we look forward to building on the momentum generated during the evening.
