Covering the 2nd National Cyber Warfare Conference

28 August 2011 in Defence, Internet, Media by Stilgherrian | 3 comments

~~As soon as I arrive back from my trip to Kuala Lumpur on 13 September, I’m off to Canberra for the 2nd National Cyber Warfare Conference on 14 and 15 September.~~ No I won’t be. See the comments.

I’m covering it for CSO Online, and for the moment I’m assuming that’ll be in the form of written material. I’d also like to cover it for the Patch Monday podcast, but I don’t think that’ll be possible due to the contractual arrangements.

The event itself runs for a day and a half. An afternoon of presentations followed by a day of roundtable discussions. I’m looking forward to it.

If there’s anything else happening in Canberra either side of this event, please let me know so I can plan to attend,

Good luck at that conference! I’d really like to read what you write! Do you plan to post something here as well?

@Joel Harding: Thanks for that. I’m specifically covering this conference for CSO Online, but I’ll link to the stories in the next Weekly Wrap post at the very least.

I doubt that I’ll write anything separate for here. Covering a conference is exhausting. But you never know, I may feel the urge to write something more personal.

I’ll make sure to link to the relevant material from this comment thread too.

@Joel Harding: Alas, the conference sessions weren’t open to the media, and I decided that it wasn’t worth the trip to Canberra if we’d have to rely on second-hand information.

That said, we did manage to get a recording of the over-dinner speech by David Irvine, the director-general of Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, which Liam Tung turned into the story “Insidious” cyber chaos too fast for ASIO. It also served as part of the inspiration for my story Yet another free pass for Aussie spooks.

However SC Magazine did sent Darren Pauli and John Hilvert, and their stories were:

My week from Monday 14 to Sunday 20 May 2012 was mostly about the AusCERT information security conference and a blur of returning pain thanks to my dodgy shoulder.

On the way back from the AusCERT 2012 information security conference this afternoon I found myself stranded at Gold Coast airport for a couple hours, exhausted. What better, then, than an impromptu video explaining how public relations operatives can improve the way they interact with journalists at these events. This video was shot with a [...]

My full output from the AusCERT 2012 information security conference has yet to appear. Stand by. But last night I did a half-hour conference wrap with Dom Knight on ABC Local Radio. We spoke about the conference atmosphere itself, cybercrime, cyberwar, the risk of Cybergeddon (yes, I know), and the claim by Eugene Kaspersky that [...]

I’m currently on the train down from the Blue Mountains to Sydney, en route to the AusCERT 2012 information security conference on the Gold Coast, and I’m thinking about what stories might emerge.

Talking Facebook pay-for-highlighting on ABC 702 Sydney

14 May 2012 in Conversations, Internet, Media

While the Facebook IPO Roadshow rolls on, the company is trying a bunch of experiments — both to search for new revenue streams and to maintain the buzz. One of them is paying $2 to have your post highlighted. The numbers in the story don’t surprise me. Typically a Facebook user’s posts are only seen [...]
