Build strategic success through InfoSec and business synergy
CISO Melbourne stands as one of Victoria’s most significant annual forums for senior information security leaders. The event brings together influential thinkers and innovators to explore pressing challenges and exchange hard earned lessons.
The agenda covers a wide spectrum, from governance and risk to AI, resilience, leadership, and supporting business outcomes — delivering practical insights designed to strengthen decision-making and organisational impact.
In 2026, CISO Melbourne will return to Crown Promenade alongside co-located security events, providing a comprehensive platform to gain the insights and connections you need to stay ahead in today’s security landscape.

Our key themes for 2026
“Fit-for-purpose” governance
Defining what “good enough” looks like, turning compliance and governance from theory into real, defendable decisions that drive outcomes.
Systemic & strategic risk management
Navigating supply chain, operational and emerging risks with pragmatic governance, trade-offs, and decisions that strengthen resilience across complex enterprise systems.
Humans, capability, & leadership
Re-centring people at the heart of security, transforming fatigue into focus, judgement into capability, and leadership into resilience.
AI, data, & smart decisions
From capability, to literacy, to amplified impact. Moving beyond hype, turning AI and data into actionable insight while keeping privacy and protection.
