Securing the State: Interpreting the 2025 PSPF Update - What It Means for Government and Industry

Join us for the first session of Public Sector Pulse—a new live webinar series spotlighting the evolving intersection of cyber security, digital policy, and public sector capability.

In this inaugural session, Sarah Sloan, Senior Director, APAC Government Strategy, Splunk (a Cisco company), will be joined by Tim Neal, Assistant Secretary, Commonwealth Security Policy, Department of Home Affairs to unpack the 2025 Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) annual release and explore what it means for agencies and their partners across the public sector ecosystem.

This session will provide timely insights into:

• The strategic direction and practical reforms embedded in the 2025 PSPF Update
• How the update delivers on key priorities under the Australian Cyber Security Strategy 2023–2030, particularly Shield 4, which focuses on uplifting cyber maturity and protecting systems of government significance
• The implications for agency planning, governance, and capability—from embedding a Zero Trust culture to preparing for quantum threats and governing AI responsibly
• The role of industry and technology partners in supporting secure service delivery and resilient digital infrastructure

With the Australian Government now turning its attention to Horizon 2 of the Cyber Security Strategy, this webinar will also reflect on what has been achieved to date, and what more is required—as a nation and as a sector—to sustain and accelerate public sector uplift in the face of increasingly complex cyber risks.

This session will be delivered live and is a must-attend session for government officials, policy professionals, security professionals and any organisation that works with or supports the public sector on cyber security, technology, or digital transformation.
