As an event partner of the DIF2021, the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) is delighted to be involved in the official opening of the Festival with a debate about the worse risk – people or technology.  

With mobile phones confirming dinner reservations, Facebook giving us new friends and laptops as light as air, AI incorporating in to daily life both at home and work, technology may seem nothing but valuable.

But technology can also be a huge hazard to businesses, and the impact on personal lives.

During this debate, we will explore the research and statistics, case studies and work through the risks to businesses and personal lives, either by the technology or people…which is worse?

Hear from the experts

Moderated by Damien Manuel, Chairperson at AISA

  • Catherine Buhler – CISO, Energy Australia
  • Patrick Fair – Principal, Patrick Fair & Associates
  • EJ Wise – Principal, Wise Law Cyber Consulting
