Kickstart your AISA PerthSEC 2024 experience with a private breakfast catch up at:
Join Mantel Group for a Private Pre‑Conference Breakfast before AISA PerthSEC 2024
Before you dive into the event, join us for a casual pre-event catch-up session with key members of Mantel Group. They’ll be leading a discussion on the topic of cyber resilience and highlight some notable recent outages, which have given resilience a lot more airplay and increased pressure from regulators across industries. They will be discussing where to start, key strategic pillars of a security and resilience program, and other key considerations.
It’s the perfect opportunity to network, get expert insights, and enjoy a relaxed breakfast and coffee before the conference day kicks off.
This is a small group event and spaces are limited – please RSVP as soon as possible.
