Financial Review Cyber Summit 2025

Navigating the new digital frontier

Hilton Sydney | Tuesday September 16, 2025

Australia’s digital landscape is more complex and perilous than ever. With geopolitical tensions escalating and technological advancements reshaping our world, the threat of cyber attacks intensifies, demanding an evolved response from government, industry, and the boardroom. The profound vulnerabilities within our systems have been underscored, highlighting a critical need for proactive strategies that extend beyond government initiatives. We’ll confront questions like: How are the intensifying “tech wars” between global powers fundamentally altering the cyber threat landscape for Australian businesses? What does the rapid ascent of artificial intelligence mean for both our defences and the sophistication of emerging threats, from advanced scams to unprecedented data breaches? And critically, as the role of the board in cybersecurity governance becomes more exacting, how are organisations ensuring robust oversight and accountability in an environment of perpetual digital risk?

The 2025 Financial Review Cyber Summit will convene Australia’s leading minds in cybersecurity, national security, and business. You’ll join global strategists, government architects, corporate leaders, and pioneering technologists as we explore the critical intersections of geopolitics, innovation, and defence. Dissect the challenges and chart the path forward in a rapidly evolving digital frontier with us.
