CISO Critical Infrastructure Melbourne
FAQ
What is CISO Critical Infrastructure Melbourne?
CISO Critical Infrastructure Melbourne is an in-person conference for senior cyber security, technology, risk and resilience leaders responsible for protecting Australia’s critical infrastructure and essential services. The 2027 event takes place on 24 February 2027 and brings together practitioners from energy, water, telecommunications, transport, government, healthcare, financial services and other essential-service environments.
The event reflects the operating reality that cyber risk in critical infrastructure is inseparable from service continuity, public trust, safety, regulation and national resilience. Leaders must secure connected IT and OT environments, manage complex supply chains, respond to fast-moving threats and demonstrate that essential operations can continue through disruption.
The program examines how organisations can turn regulatory pressure into stronger governance, embed resilience into systems and operating models, use threat intelligence to improve decisions, and lead through sustained technological and organisational change. The focus is on practical peer learning and operational decisions that attendees can apply within their own organisations. Across critical infrastructure sectors, cyber security in critical infrastructure requires leaders to connect technical controls with operational continuity, public safety and national resilience.

Why should I attend CISO Critical Infrastructure Melbourne?
Attend CISO Critical Infrastructure Melbourne to test how your cyber strategy holds up when operational continuity, regulatory accountability, technology change and increasingly sophisticated threats converge.
The event helps attendees examine how to translate compliance into meaningful security improvement, strengthen resilience across IT and OT, improve readiness for disruption, turn threat intelligence into action, manage identity and supply-chain exposure, and govern the opportunities and risks created by AI.
Through keynotes, case studies, panel discussions, interactive sessions and peer networking, attendees can compare how other critical infrastructure organisations are approaching governance, recovery, crisis leadership, security investment and operational risk. The takeaway is a clearer set of priorities, practical ideas and peer perspectives that can be applied to security strategy, operations and investment decisions after the event. Delegates can use these insights to strengthen critical infrastructure protection and make clearer decisions about security priorities, investment and readiness. Live agenda | Downloadable agenda
How is CISO Critical Infrastructure Melbourne different from other cybersecurity conferences?
CISO Critical Infrastructure Melbourne focuses specifically on the strategic and operational cyber decisions facing critical infrastructure and essential-service organisations. Rather than treating cyber security as a general enterprise technology issue, the program connects security leadership with service continuity, regulatory accountability, public trust, safety, supply-chain resilience and the convergence of IT and OT.
The agenda combines senior leadership perspectives with practical case studies, keynotes, panels, fireside chats and interactive formats, giving attendees a focused environment in which to compare approaches with peers facing similar operational constraints and responsibilities. The program also considers network security and network security threats in the context of connected systems, essential operations and service continuity. Event website | Live agenda
