Join iiNet founder Michael Malone, Diamond Cyber Security CEO Sven Ross, and Handle My Complaint CEO Jo Ucukalo on Monday 24th February for a discussion on technology in the 2020s!

Our panel of experts will discuss a wide variety of challenges and opportunities arising from data protection and cyber security for both businesses and consumers, data collection – why collect data and what do you do with it once you have it, digital transformation, and instant gratification and consumer expectation and pressure.

All proceeds from this event go towards supporting Autism West’s services.

The Speakers

Since transitioning to civilian life Sven has held security management roles in global resources companies, delivered solutions to complex cyber problems and founded Diamond Cyber Security. Diamond Cyber Security was founded on the belief that robust cyber security can be delivered intelligently to all sectors of industry, at all scales, more effectively than traditional vendors and at a fraction of the cost currently being offered through auditing and compliance firms.
