Cyber risk is no longer just a technology challenge.
As the threat landscape evolves, IT and business leaders are navigating an increasingly complex intersection of cybersecurity, compliance, privacy obligations and financial risk.
Subnet Cyber Summit 2026 brings together leading experts across cybersecurity, technology, privacy law and insurance for an exclusive morning of insights and discussion at Suite 88, Eos by SkyCity Adelaide.
Hear from CrowdStrike, Progress ShareFile, Wallmans Lawyers and InfoSure Insurance as they explore the emerging threats, regulatory changes and real-world risks organisations should be considering as they prepare for what's next.
Join fellow IT and business leaders for a practical morning of expert presentations and discussion, followed by networking over lunch with our speakers and event partners.
Why Attend?
The cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve rapidly. At the same time, managing cyber risk increasingly extends beyond security technology alone.
Organisations must consider how cybersecurity intersects with data governance and compliance, changing privacy obligations, financial exposure and broader organisational resilience.
Subnet Cyber Summit 2026 brings these perspectives together in one room, providing practical insights into:
- Emerging cybersecurity threats and the changing adversary landscape
- Cybersecurity, data governance and evolving compliance requirements
- Australia's changing privacy landscape and what it means for organisations
- Real-world cyber insurance case studies, coverage gaps and lessons learned
- Practical considerations for strengthening organisational cyber resilience
Rather than a traditional expo or product showcase, the Cyber Summit is designed as a focused forum for practical insights, expert perspectives and meaningful conversation.

9:15am — Preparing for 2027: The Cybersecurity & Compliance Challenges Organisations Can't Afford to Ignore
Presented by CrowdStrike & Progress ShareFile
Cyber threats continue to evolve, while expectations around security, data governance and compliance are becoming increasingly complex.

10:20am — Australia's Privacy Reforms: What IT and Business Leaders Need to Prepare for in 2027
Presented by Paul Gordon & Lan Lam, Partners — Wallmans Lawyers
Australia's privacy landscape continues to evolve, with further reform creating new considerations for organisations responsible for collecting, managing and protecting personal information.
Paul Gordon and Lan Lam, Partners at Wallmans Lawyers, will explore Australia's changing privacy landscape and what current and proposed reforms could mean for organisations — including the increasingly important intersection between privacy, cybersecurity, governance and organisational accountability.
The session will provide practical insights into the issues IT and business leaders should be considering now as Australia's next phase of privacy reform takes shape.
11:05am — When Cyber Insurance Is Put to the Test: Case Studies, Coverage Gaps & Lessons Learned
Presented by Andrew Brett, Director — InfoSure Insurance
What actually happens when a cyber incident becomes an insurance claim?
Drawing on real-world cyber insurance case studies, Andrew Brett will examine what happened when organisations faced cyber incidents, where insurance coverage became complicated and what others can learn from their experiences.
Rather than focusing on cyber insurance theory, this practical session will examine the realities of cyber claims — including coverage gaps, unexpected challenges and the lessons organisations can take away before an incident occurs.
11:50am — Closing Remarks
Subnet
We'll bring together the key themes and takeaways from the morning, with a focus on practical considerations organisations should be thinking about as they prepare for the evolving cyber risk landscape.
