Public Sector Pulse: Cyber and Tech

Unpack the four key themes of Critical Infrastructure Security Month

Join Sarah Sloan, Head of Cybersecurity Policy, APAC, for a special edition of the Public Sector Pulse: Cyber and Tech webinar as we mark Critical Infrastructure Security Month—a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising awareness and strengthening Australia’s commitment to keeping our critical infrastructure secure and resilient.

We are honoured to welcome Hamish Hansford, Head of National Security, Department of Home Affairs, as our distinguished guest. Hamish was appointed Head of National Security on 17 July 2025, overseeing the integration of national security efforts across Home Affairs, while also serving as the Commonwealth Counter-Terrorism Coordinator and National Counter Foreign Interference Coordinator. Previously, he was Deputy Secretary of the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Group (2023–2025), and the inaugural Head of the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre (a role he held from 1 September 2021). He has held several senior leadership roles across national security, cyber policy, and emergency coordination, and has served in various intelligence and policy roles across multiple Australian government departments and agencies.

In this webinar, Hamish will help us unpack the four key themes of Critical Infrastructure Security Month:

• Supply Chain Security: Understanding and addressing vulnerabilities in our interconnected supply networks
• Enabling Services: Securing essential services that underpin our daily lives and economic prosperity
• Cyber Threat Landscape: Exploring current and emerging cyber threats impacting critical infrastructure
• Personal and Physical Security: Reinforcing the importance of both digital and physical security for all Australians

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s foremost leaders in cyber and critical infrastructure security. Together, let’s reaffirm our shared responsibility in safeguarding Australia’s essential systems.
