SUMMARY:AI in Innovative Businesses: Is Your Data Use Legal\, Governed and Ready to Commercialise?
DESCRIPTION:AI in Innovative Businesses: Is Your Data Use Legal\, Governed and Ready to Commercialise? \nWhether using AI for everyday workflows or developing proprietary models\, innovative businesses face rising legal and commercial scrutiny. This one-hour webinar explores how to identify your AI maturity\, navigate privacy obligations and reforms\, and prevent early design decisions from creating costly liabilities. \nWhat We Will Cover\n\nAI Maturity & Scope: Why governance needs differ between simple internal experiments\, customer pilots and autonomous AI agents.\nPrivacy & Data Provenance: Australian Privacy Principle (APP) obligations\, emerging automated-system requirements\, and risks relating to training data\, prompts\, model memory and overseas cloud providers.\nResearch & Development (R&D) Evidence as an Asset: How experiment logs\, data records and architecture notes can support commercial due diligence and AI assurance.\nPractical Demonstration: An illustrative case study (ArborIQ) and panel Q&A showing how to identify and assess AI risks.\n\nWho Should Attend\nFounders\, executives\, product leads and technical developers across WA businesses undertaking innovation or R&D—from teams adopting off-the-shelf generative AI to those commercialising bespoke AI systems. \nLeave with a practical roadmap for managing priority privacy risks and using existing R&D evidence to build customer trust. \nDelivered in partnership with Glenfield Digital and Realising Potential

SUMMARY:CSIRO Cybersecurity Seminar - The Autonomous Adversary: Red-Teaming in the Age of LLM Agents
DESCRIPTION:Presentation: CSIRO Cybersecurity Seminar – The Autonomous Adversary: Red-Teaming in the Age of LLM Agents\nWednesday 29 Jul 2026 | ONLINE | Dr. Mohammad Mamun\, Senior Research Officer in cybersecurity at the Digital Technology Research Centre\, National Research Council Canada. \nAbstract \nLLM agents are emerging as a new primitive for autonomous red teaming\, with the potential to support multi-step cyber operations such as attack planning\, adversary emulation\, and lateral movement. Recent advances in autonomous cyber evaluation\, including cyber-range assessments by the UK AI Security Institute and related research on agentic AI for cybersecurity\, have shifted attention from prompt-level misuse toward end-to-end operational capability in realistic environments. \nThis work examines the role of LLM agents as autonomous adversaries through controlled lateral-movement scenarios that capture key elements of advanced cyber operations under different levels of autonomy. The results highlight both the promise and the current limitations of LLM-based red teaming: although these systems can exhibit useful planning and adaptive behavior\, reliable execution remains constrained by brittle command invocation\, weak state tracking\, credential-handling failures\, and environmental instability. These findings underscore the need for rigorous evaluation methodologies\, realistic cyber-range benchmarks\, and stronger governance frameworks for increasingly capable autonomous cyber agents.

SUMMARY:CSIRO Conversations: Quantum for Every Business
DESCRIPTION:Quantum is moving fast and it’s already creating real opportunities for Australian businesses. This event unpacks what’s real and what’s coming next.\nQuantum is at the same stage AI was a decade ago\, quietly moving from research labs into real world tools. This event helps industry understand what’s real\, what’s hype\, and where the near term opportunities lie and who can help. Where today’s computers check one option at a time\, quantum can explore many possibilities at once. That makes it powerful for decision making and resource management when it comes to things like routing trucks\, detecting minerals\, managing patients in a hospital\, securing communications or modelling new materials. \nQuantum is becoming practical and commercially relevant far sooner than most businesses expect. It’s already emerging in: \n\nSupply chains: quantum inspired optimisation is helping logistics companies reduce fuel use and manage disruptions.\nFinance: banks are exploring quantum safe encryption to protect transactions.\nQuantum sensing: ultra precise measurements for mining\, agriculture\, health and defence.\n\nOur expert panellists will translate a complex emerging technology into a grounded\, industry relevant discussion on: \n\nWhat quantum technologies can do today.\nWhat’s coming next.\nHow Australian businesses can prepare responsibly and competitively.\nHow quantum intersects with supply chain resilience\, national security\, and economic pressures.\n\nPre-submit your questions to the expert panellists ahead of the webinar

DESCRIPTION:Website: https://events.humanitix.com/cyberthrive-x-cyberqueens \nWiTWA is excited to partner with CyberQueens and CyberWest Hub to host an evening designed to connect students\, emerging professionals\, and leaders in the cybersecurity space. \nCyberQueens is an initiative supporting TAFE and university students interested in cybersecurity\, helping them build networks\, gain insights from industry professionals\, and explore career pathways in the cyber sector. \nThis event also forms part of CyberThrive\, WiTWA’s program focused on supporting women to enter\, transition into\, or progress in cybersecurity careers. \nCyberThrive aims to address the gender gap in cybersecurity by creating practical pathways into the industry\, particularly for women who are: \n• transitioning from another career\n• returning to the workforce\n• early in their tech journey\n• interested in moving into cyber from adjacent roles \nThe program brings together training providers\, industry partners\, and community organisations to create clearer entry points into cybersecurity careers through industry engagement\, mentoring\, practical training\, and skills development. \nThe evening will feature a short talk from Vannessa Van Beek\, a WiTWA Award Winner and Senior Cyber Leader\, followed by an interactive networking session. \nAttendees will also hear about Cyber CX Cyber5050\, another BWC initiative. \nAfter the talk\, attendees will take part in small rotating discussion groups (similar to speed networking)\, creating an opportunity to connect directly with industry professionals and peers in a relaxed and supportive environment. \nWhether you are studying cyber\, exploring the field\, or already working in the industry\, this event is a great opportunity to build connections\, learn from others in the field\, and expand your professional network.
