We were delighted to host a panel discussion and networking event with the Association of International Energy Negotiators (AIEN) and Energy & Resources Law Association last night in our Sydney office. Thanks to the expert panel of Natalie Lonergan, Dr Kimberly Camrass, Professor Tina Soliman Hunter and Kevin Peakman for their insights into the emergence of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as a carbon management tool for the aviation industry in Australia. It was great to hear the panel explore feed stock diversity, technological innovation, regulatory support, and collaboration and partnerships - the four pillars that are fundamental to the growth and further development of the SAF industry.

Earlier this week, we co-hosted an insightful Cyber Leadership Exchange with the team from Sekuro at our Sydney office. It was great to hear the insights of the esteemed panel, who discussed a variety of topics including: prevailing cyber threat trends, and how businesses can adapt, how to survive and thrive in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats; the confluence of risk management, governance, compliance, and corresponding insurance and legal considerations; Board Directors’ roles in driving oversight on governance and risk; inculcating a culture of proactive risk management, and collaboration in times of crises. Congratulations to Cyber Risk and Insurance Partner, Jason Symons, for his input into the discussion on the day.
Yesterday in Sydney, #Sekuro co-hosted a Cyber Leadership Exchange bringing together thought leaders and experts across government, business, cyber security, legal and insurance. The event featured a virtual keynote address by Tony Chapman, Deputy National Cyber Security Coordinator and First Assistant Secretary at the National Office of Cyber Security, who provided key updates on the progress of the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy. Following his address, Shamane Tan, Sekuro’s Chief Growth Officer, moderated an insightful panel session with esteemed leaders, including: - Jessica Thomas, Assistant Director Cyber Security Engagement within the National Office of Cyber Security - Megan Motto, CEO, Governance Institute of Australia - Gill Collins, Head of Cyber, Marsh McLennan Pacific - Jason Symons, Partner, Mills Oakley and - Noel Allnutt, CEO, Sekuro Conversations and insights ranged from: prevailing cyber threat trends, and how businesses can adapt, survive and thrive in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats; the confluence of risk management, governance, compliance, and corresponding insurance and legal considerations; Board Directors’ roles in driving oversight on governance and risk; inculcating a culture of proactive risk management, and collaboration in times of crises. With the event at-capacity, it is apparent industry leaders are craving pragmatic and transparent knowledge sharing on systemically building resilient organisations, as was fostered in this cyber leadership exchange. The continuing battle against cyber perpetrators can only be won with unified effort and co-ordination between government, private sector and trusted security partners. We thank our speakers and panelists for their pertinent contributions to the leadership exchange, and to the Mills Oakley team for their continued partnership and for hosting at their premises.
