The exclusive off-the-record peer-to-peer roundtable, hosted by the Business Circle in partnership with Fortinet, brought together senior government and industry leaders for a high-level discussion with Jim Richberg, Head of Cyber Policy and Global Field CISO at Fortinet. Drawing on nearly four decades of cybersecurity leadership, Jim shared perspectives from his experience shaping global cyber strategy and advising senior government leaders.

The conversation explored the evolving cyber threat landscape, global cyber policy and national resilience, with a focus on the challenges created by an increasingly complex and interconnected digital environment. Participants exchanged perspectives on strengthening cyber defence, strategic preparedness and collaboration between government and industry.

Held under a trusted, invitation-only format, the roundtable provided senior leaders with an opportunity to challenge thinking, share experiences and explore practical approaches to strengthening Australia’s cyber resilience.
