This month’s CyberConnect was a powerful evening of conversation on how quantum innovation is reshaping cyber security—and why preparing now matters.

CyberWest Hub was joined by quantum expert was Yasaman Samadi via live stream for an incredible presentation on post-quantum readiness and the practical steps organisations can take today. Yasaman’s insightful work highlighted the pathways WA organisations can use to transition securely and although preparing for Q-day is not urgent – it is important to get ready and form a plan.

Child Protection in the Digital Age: From Cyber Threats to Human Impact

In a world increasingly shaped by technology, the greatest threats to children are no longer just physical — they're digital, hidden, and global. The urgency of addressing these threats cannot be overstated.

The online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) is not just a cybercrime. It's a human rights emergency — one that implicates systems, economies, and even our own digital behaviours.
