Event Finish:
Tue 22 Jun 07:00 PM AEST
Registration End Date: Mon 21 Jun 10:00 AM
Join our panel of experts virtually, as they debate whether all the concern about a crisis in cyber skills is justified. Recently the Australian government launched a $26.5 million grant scheme to support the cybersecurity workforce. This move has come in response to research and a range of both government and private-sector voices that suggest a serious gap in cyber skills. <br><br>This robust panel will dig beneath the headlines to offer alternative explanations to the perceived gap and paths for strengthening Australia’s cybersecurity that break with cookie-cutter solutions. Anyone considering a career in cybersecurity or seeking to understand the skills gap and what they need to do to address it within their organisation is certain to walk away with new insights and options.<br><br><img alt="UNDERGROUND" src="https://id.acs.org.au/servlet/servlet.ImageServer?id=0150o00000HSMfD&oid=00D90000000o5NE&lastMod=1621483528000"></img><br><br>In this talk, the panel will debate a wide range of controversial topics around cybersecurity and cyber skilling. The high-level debate will highlight discussions around: <ol><li>What is cyber skilling and is it worth getting a degree in cybersecurity? </li><li>Should we be afraid about the future of cybersecurity? </li><li>Are required cybersecurity skills changing over time? If so, how are people working in the industry expected to keep up?</li><li>Are IT companies selling CYBER on 'fear’?</li><li>Are cybersecurity breaches, something individuals should learn to live with or not?</li><li>What constitutes preparedness in cybersecurity?</li></ol> In this discussion, you will find out the benefits, limitations, and challenges of cybersecurity.<br><br><u><b>Notice for ACS Members</b></u><br><br><i>When attending virtual events, in order to claim and qualify for the required CPD hours, Please be aware that you will need to attend the online event in its entirety which will be tracked by the ACS events team.<br><br>If a cloaking software program is used when connecting to an online event, your attendance cannot be recorded and CPD hours cannot be allocated.
