Shaun Capps, Check Point
This practical session will help you cut through cyber security noise and focus on what actually matters. Presented by Essential Tech and Check Point, the session brings together real incident insights and reality checks, to help you assess your firm’s true cyber readiness.
You will gain a clear view of the top threats targeting law firms, where protection gaps typically exist, and what “reasonable and defensible” readiness looks like under Australian regulatory expectations. The session is outcomes‑focused, equipping you with insights to protect your firm.
