Students of Cyber

University and TAFE students of cyber security! SoC is your chance to expand your network, link up with industry professionals and discover insights into cyber security from their career journey.

For industry people and recruiters, this is a great opportunity to meet with the future of cyber security and get to know potential talent that will help drive our state’s cyber sector.

This promises to be a fun event filled with presentations from an inspiring panel who will discuss their career path from studies to employment at AWS.

Scaling security: Optimise for fast and secure delivery

At Amazon Web Services, security teams are continuously focused on raising the security bar while improving the builder experience in all security engagements. As organisations grow, security does not scale unless it’s everyone’s job. To enable this, you can optimise your security capabilities such that product teams own their own security, and evolve the central security team’s role to enable product teams to deliver securely.

In this session hear from Byron Pogson, a Senior Security Architect at AWS on how he helps teams across Australia and New Zealand design, build, and deliver with security in mind.
