With a theme of ‘Intelligence and Applications to Mitigate Risk and Vulnerability’, the speakers and content have been carefully curated by the industry’s peak body, ASIAL.
“The ASIAL Security Conference program will feature an exceptional line up of renowned local and international experts who will share their insights on how to protect your organisation, brand reputation, vital assets and how you can mitigate risk and vulnerability,” said ASIAL CEO, Bryan de Caires.
“The format and content for this year’s event has been designed to provide critical industry updates on the first day through the plenary sessions, followed by your choice of practical and interactive streamed sessions on the second and third day.”
