Covering the 2nd National Cyber Warfare Conference

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.

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

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:
