Our panellists were:

"It was fantastic to be able to bring together senior representatives from DISO, Thales, BAE Systems, AIDN, UniSA and a number of SMEs. Securing our Defence assets and our national interests has become one of the most significant challenges we face today, so being able to share this forum with a national audience was pretty special. Together with FACCI, we managed to pull together a very high-profile group of security professionals from across government, industry and academia, which not only helped raise industry's awareness of Defence's security requirements, but encouraged dialogue and debate on the key protective security issues facing defence industry today."
