CyberCon Melbourne 2025

Reflections from the Frontline of Cyber Leadership – CyberCon Melbourne 2025

Just wrapped up an incredible few days at CyberCon Melbourne, where the conversations were bold, urgent, and deeply human.From a national lens, National Cyber Security Coordinator - Lt Gen. Michelle McGuinness delivered a powerful reminder: our safety must span both the physical and digital realms. Her call for cyber practices to be distinctive and instinctive struck a chord — as did her vision for Australia to lead globally in cyber. The message was clear: cyber security is no longer optional — it’s essential.
