It examines how businesses can address the risks posed by human error, insider threats, and social engineering attacks, with practical strategies for fostering a security-first culture.  *Quantifying Cyber Risk*:  This chapter delves into methods for assessing and communicating cyber risks in financial and operational terms, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities. By making cyber risk tangible, businesses can prioritise investments and justify cyber security strategies with data-driven insights.  *Supply Chain Risk*: Modern organisations operate within increasingly complex and interdependent supply chains, creating new vulnerabilities that cyber criminals are quick to exploit. This chapter examines the challenges of securing third-party vendors, partners, and suppliers, offering guidance on how to assess, manage, and mitigate supply chain risk.   Download last year's [Digital As Usual: Cyber Security report](https://www.itnews.com.au/digital-as-usual-cyber-security). ![IMG_DAU](https://pages.itnews.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_3483.jpg?width=2000&height=1333&name=IMG_3483.jpg "IMG_DAU") [REGISTER NOW](https://pages.itnews.com.au/dau-cybersecurity-sydney#Register) ## Attend our breakfast to see the Digital Nation team, Business leaders plus sponsors discussing the report focus areas: ![Human risk](https://pages.itnews.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(98).png?width=250&height=259&name=Untitled%20design%20(98).png "Human risk") **Human risk** ![Quantifying cyber](https://pages.itnews.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(99).png?width=250&height=259&name=Untitled%20design%20(99).png "Quantifying cyber") **Quantifying cyber risk** ![Supply chain risk](https://pages.itnews.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(100).png?width=250&name=Untitled%20design%20(100).png "Supply chain risk") **Supply chain risk** ## Agenda | **7:45am** | Arrival, networking and breakfast | | --- | --- | | **8:30am** | Welcome address by Digital Nation Australia editor – Athina Mallis & commercial editor – Velvet-Belle Templeman | | **8:45am** | **Panel 1** – Impact of digital on Marketing/CX + audience Q&A | | **9:15am** | **Panel 2** – Impact of digital on HR/EX + audience Q&A | | **9:45am** | **Panel 3** – Impact of digital on Finance + audience Q&A | | **10:15am** | Closing remarks & networking | | **10:30am** | Finish |   | **7:45am** | Arrival, networking and breakfast | | --- | --- | | **8:30am** | Welcome address by Digital Nation Australia Publishing Director – Velvet-Belle Templeman | | **8:40am** | **Panel 1** – Human risk  | | **9:00am** | Audience discussion  | | **9:15am** | **Panel 2** – Quantifying cyber risk  | | **9:35am** | Audience discussion  | | **9:50am** | **Panel 3** – Supply chain risk  | | **10:10am** | Audience discussion  | | **10:25am** | Closing remarks | | **10:30am - 11:00am** | **Networking and finish** |   ## Event details: ![calendar](https://pages.itnews.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/calendar.png?width=150&height=150&name=calendar.png "calendar") **Wednesday, 19th March, 2024** ![map](https://pages.itnews.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/map.png?width=150&height=150&name=map.png "map") Establishment Ballroom, 252 George st, Sydney 2000 ![clock](https://pages.itnews.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/clock.png?width=150&name=clock.png "clock") **7.45am – 10.30am** ![CRN Channel Meet 19 July 2022 by Homepix Photography 0036](https://21321196.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/21321196/hubfs/CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200036.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200036.jpg) ![CRN Channel Meet 19 July 2022 by Homepix Photography 0110](https://21321196.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/21321196/hubfs/CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200110.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200110.jpg) ![CRN Channel Meet 19 July 2022 by Homepix Photography 0126](https://21321196.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/21321196/hubfs/CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200126.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200126.jpg) ![CRN Channel Meet 19 July 2022 by Homepix Photography 0133](https://21321196.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/21321196/hubfs/CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200133.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200133.jpg) ![CRN Channel Meet 19 July 2022 by Homepix Photography 0164](https://21321196.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/21321196/hubfs/CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200164.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=CRN%20Channel%20Meet%2019%20July%202022%20by%20Homepix%20Photography%200164.jpg) [REGISTER NOW](https://share.hsforms.com/1UZ6x6QFqRYyYy-rMOY8qzAcozjg) [CONTACT TO SPONSOR](mailto:SMcDonald@nextmedia.com.au)
