While on the other side, the CISO will make the case that without robust security and risk mitigation, growth initiatives could collapse under the weight of cyber threats, compliance failures, and reputational damage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the future of digital transformation and organisational resilience hanging in the balance, this session will challenge the audience to consider:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Where does the real value lie when budgets are on the line? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/08\/access-group-featured-image-800x330-copy-300x170.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" class=\"little alignnone size-medium wp-image-18489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/08\/access-group-featured-image-800x330-copy-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/08\/access-group-featured-image-800x330-copy-600x339.png 600w, https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/08\/access-group-featured-image-800x330-copy.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/09\/ITW-Construction-177.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"100\" class=\"little alignnone size-full wp-image-18504\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"little alignnone size-full wp-image-17347\" src=\"https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/Focus-Network-177-x-100-300x169-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/Focus-Network-177-x-100-300x169-1.png 300w, https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/Focus-Network-177-x-100-300x169-1-125x70.png 125w, https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/Focus-Network-177-x-100-300x169-1-75x42.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-lg fa-clock-o\"><\/i> <span class=\"small\">20min<\/span><\/p>  \n                                                                                            \n                                <\/div>\n                                \n                                <div class=\"col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-10\"><h5>Raheem Sar<\/h5><p class=\"small\">Raheem, currently CISO - APAC Region, has several years of progressive leadership experience across financial services, insurance, telecoms, [...]<\/p><h5>Peter Carrodus<\/h5><p class=\"small\">Peter Carrodus is a senior IT leader with extensive experience driving technology transformation across industries including eCommerce, FMCG, [...]<\/p><h5>Mary-Beth Hosking<\/h5><p class=\"small\">Mary-Beth Hosking is a pragmatic and seasoned technology leader with extensive experience in organizational transformations and is currently [...]<\/p><\/div>\n                                \n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel panel-default\">\n                    \n                    <div class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"heading-18276\">\n                        <div class=\"row\">\n\n                            <div class=\"col-lg-1 col-md-1 col-sm-1\">\n                                <p class=\"date\">09:00<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                            \n                            <div class=\"col-lg-11 col-md-11 col-sm-11\">\n                                \n                                <h4 class=\"panel-title\">\n                                    <a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" href=\"#18276\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"18276\">\n                                    Keynote Presentation &#8211;
