Sydney's Intercontinental Hotel played host to the first 'Security on the Move' event, aimed at taking AusCERT and SC Magazine closer to the action.
The event was attended by members of the IT security, banking, utilities, telecommunications, research and government sectors.
Graham Ingram, general manager of AusCERT, kicks off the event with some statistics on how frequently the organisation contacts Australian webmasters to tell them sites are infected with SQL injection attacks.
He also took a very strong position against the lack of security foresight in the Australian Government's e-health scheme.
