AISA VIC Branch Meeting | 14 July 2026

Hosted by the AISA VIC Branch, this meeting offers members the chance to connect with fellow professionals and build valuable new professional relationships. The evening will open with a captivating presentation from Michael Demery, Managing Director of Seccom Global who will discuss how to establish a cyber-smart workplace, shape positive staff behaviours and involve your board in the process.



Session Title: 
Building A Cyber Culture In A Business Whilst Gaining Board Involvement
This is an area where some organisations can say the right things but don’t actually change behaviour. If you get this right, it becomes a genuine competitive advantage, not just a compliance tick-box. 

Learn how to build a Cyber Culture, influence staff behaviour and gain board involvement.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker and networking drinks with light refreshments will be served after the presentation.

Speaker:
