CyberCX welcomes you to submit an expression of interest to join us at the CyberXCHANGE Breakfast Briefing Series, our bi-annual executive customer event, as we look ahead to 2026.
Expert-led presentations will highlight key trends, emerging threats, and innovative strategies that organisations must embrace to stay ahead in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world.
Each event will also feature a fireside chat with a local customer, exploring the intersection of cyber security and cloud, the security implications of AI and the evolving landscape of cyber security.
This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights, connect with peers, and prepare your organisation for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Breakfast Briefings in each region will commence with 8.00am arrival barista coffee followed by a seated breakfast and presentations from 8.30am - 10.30am.
