October is Cyber Security Awareness Month - and the timing couldn't be more critical.
Cyber attacks cost Australian businesses over $33 billion last year. The good news? The most powerful line of defence isn't technology. It's an educated, aware team. Our speakers don't just explain the threat - they change behaviour.
Bastien Treptel
At the age of 14 Bastien Treptel was given his first computer, by the age of 16, the police came knocking. Bastien had used his hacking skills to get into one of the big four banks and access credit cards. It was his love of pizza that led to the police tracking him down and ultimately reforming his ways.
Years later, Bastien founded CTRL: Cyber now valued at 100M to combat cybercrime and in November 2021 sold the company for millions.

Simon Waller
Simon is an international keynote speaker, author and futurist. Born on the beach and raised on fishing boats, Simon's journey to becoming one of Australia’s most sort-after futurists is somewhat unexpected. He hasn’t spent his life studying or working in big tech; instead, he is driven by a deep desire to improve the way leaders make decisions.
Simon’s brand of ‘practical futurism’ was shaped through his time working as a corporate futurist for one of the world’s largest mining companies. As a founding member of their scenario planning team, his work influenced billion-dollar investment decisions with intergenerational impact. As Simon puts it “In organisations, we can quite literally summon the power to move mountains. It’s incredibly important we move the right ones.”
