One of Australia’s (and my) favourite events in the cyber calendar - #SICW2022! Amazing job yet again @CSAsingapore in bringing the global cyber community together. After all, ‘digital security is a shared responsibility’.

Given most of the internet is private sector-owned, it’s critical to engage the multistakeholder community in the global cyber security discussion. Thanks to @Microsoft, @NACSAmalaysia, @ISIS_MY & @RSIS_NTU for a fascinating #LetsTalkCyber panel at #SICW2022.
