News from the Trade and Investment Desk San Francisco

In one of their busiest months since 2020, the Austrade team hosted more than 60 Australian Cyber Security companies, venture capital investors and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) at the San Francisco Landing Pad during the RSA Conference in April.

“Fostering such important relationships among the CISO ecosystem is critical for the growth and expansion of Australian Cyber Security companies into the North American market,” said Odette Hampton, Deputy Consul General, Trade and Investment Commissioner San Francisco.

With Australia’s aim to be the world’s most cyber secure nation by 2030, the Cyber Security industry leaders were able to collaborate on global security challenges, alignment on regulations and standards, coordination for cross-border business operations, network and knowledge share - working towards a more secure digital environment, globally.
