This year’s Protective Security in Government Conference will be held in Canberra from the 13-14th October 2020. This year’s theme is Protective Security – more than just security! In an increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous world, and in the midst of a global health pandemic, the need for an innovative approach to the way Government Agencies and their suppliers manage risk and continuity is required more than ever.
Australia has gone from crisis to crisis this past year – climate emergencies such as the drought that is devasting the inland, bushfires destroying millions of hectares of land, wildlife and taking human life, skies that were filled with hazardous levels of air quality, a global health pandemic, and now an economic crisis. This coupled with cyber-enabled espionage and attacks, active armed offenders, and general criminality, as well as the increasing concerns about foreign interference, both within the public and private sectors.
The conference will provide access to leading authorities, industry experts, and agency case studies that will provide updates, benchmarking, thought leadership, and network development to truly move to the next level as we face the diverse challenges that continue to confront us.
