A complex, challenging, and changing security landscape means a difficult, demanding, and dynamic operating environment, particularly in constrained fiscal conditions. The cost of doing business continues to climb, and budgets, laws, ethical considerations, or oversight unconstrain Australia’s most aggressive adversaries.

While threats have reduced in scale, they have increased in complexity. In 2024, the emerging threat environment demands we dedicate more resources to countering espionage and foreign interference. Still, we must simultaneously maintain a robust counter-terrorism capability before it continues to corrode our democracy, sovereignty, economy, and community, degrading decision-making and strategic advantage.

Public Sector Network’s 10th Annual Australian Security Summit (AuSec) will delve into ‘online’ and ‘offline’ threats; we’ll be assessing how to best protect Australia’s physical infrastructure and safety by enhancing border integrity, supply chain resilience, protecting critical infrastructure, mitigating terrorism, and improving response to natural disasters. We’ll also explore how to uplift the nation’s cyber security capabilities and remain ahead of emerging online threats, including cyber warfare, cybercrime, cyber espionage, and cyberterrorism.
