The ANZ Cyber Summit Launches in Sydney on 15-16 September 2026
Following the success of our global IT and cyber security series of events, the ANZ Cyber Summit, co-hosted with OTsec ANZ Summit, will launch in Sydney on 15-16 September 2026!
With Australia and New Zealand both grappling with an increasing threat landscape, we present an IT security event for all industries to discuss the most pressing questions around achieving cyber resilience. Inviting together 100+ like-minded, senior IT security stakeholders from ANZ’s largest and most important organisations, key discussions include Geopolitical Risk, AI Governance and Building a Culture of Cyber Security. We will also take a special look into Cloudflare’s unique access to Claude Mythos preview, providing our delegates with the latest insight in this new model and how it will shape the future of cyber security.
To see our key topics in full, check out the event overview or quick-view agenda.
Attend to connect with peers, learn, and collaborate on building secure IT systems now and in the future.
