Meanwhile, Auscert has also announced its speaker line up with Scott Charney, Corporate Vice President of Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft confirmed as a keynote speaker.

Joining him will be John Stewart, CSO at Cisco Systems and John Meakin, Group Head of Information Security at Standard Chartered Bank.

"This year’s program promises to deliver a solid selection of expert speakers prepared to share their insights on new and emerging trends in the information security space, as well as to revisit the lessons we still haven’t learned or applied to our lives as citizens of the Internet,” he said.
