Asia Society Australia warmly invites you to a private briefing with Tobias Feakin, Ambassador for Cyber Affairs and Critical Technology. While malicious cyber actors are hindering our response to COVID-19, an unstable cyber environment can also have repercussions on our diplomatic relations and national security. What does online diplomacy look like and how can we engage with non-state entities, like major technology companies, to address this global challenge?

Join us as Ambassador Feakin discusses the necessity of his role in our new world order, Australia’s role in supporting a secure and safe cyberspace, and mitigation strategies to protect your organisations from cyber-attacks.

Date: Thursday 6 August 2020
Time: 11 – 11:45 a.m. AEST

This event is by invitation only. For any enquiries please contact: programaustralia@asiasociety.org.
