Under siege: Are we ready for a cyber attack on Australia’s hospital system?
On Monday 25 October, as part of Australian Cyber Week 2021, we hosted our first ‘AustCyber after dark’ session where we stepped through the facets of a hypothetical cyber-attack on a hospital – the impacts on and responses of the medical system, government, crucial parts of our society and how it could impact us all.
Through the eyes of Australia’s top cyber experts, including Matthew Nevin (CEO of Cybermerc), John Ellis (CISO of Bupa), Chris Painter (President of the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise) and Jessica Hunter (Acting First Assistant Director-General at the Australian Cyber Security Centre), the audience heard how Australia would respond should a potentially devastating cyber incident occur and importantly, how ready we are.
This episode was recorded live and is now released as a special edition of ‘OzCyber Unlocked’. The episode features an opening address by the Hon Karen Andrews MP, Minister for Home Affairs, and is hosted by AustCyber’s CEO Michelle Price.
