iTnews security roadshow to reach Sydney in November

iTnews is taking its State of Security Breakfast Roadshow to Sydney on November 25, with the publisher saying the event will examine cyber security priorities including Zero Trust, data security, AI governance and the centralisation of security information.

The event is scheduled for 7:45am to 11:00am at Establishment Ballroom, 252 George Street, Sydney, according to iTnews event material and an event listing. iTnews reported on September 24 that the Sydney breakfast would bring together senior security and technology leaders to discuss findings from its State of Security report.

iTnews said cyber security teams were operating in an increasingly complex environment, citing growing data volumes, expanding attack surfaces and the adoption of technologies such as AI as factors reshaping enterprise security approaches. Those claims are from iTnews’ own article and event material, rather than independent research supplied with the evidence.

The program described in iTnews’ September 24 report centres on three panel discussions. The first, on Zero Trust, is set to examine how organisations move from the concept of Zero Trust to implementation, including identity, segmentation, continuous verification, and the architectural and cultural changes required in hybrid environments.

A second panel, Data Security & AI Governance, is planned to cover the protection of sensitive information across cloud platforms, AI models and automated workflows. iTnews said the discussion would also address transparency, control and responsible data use as AI becomes more embedded in enterprise settings.

The third discussion, Centralising Security Information, is set to examine how organisations handle increasing volumes of security data, alerts and signals. iTnews said approaches to be discussed include SIEM and data lakes, and how centralising information could support visibility, detection and response in complex environments.

The iTnews event listing, published separately from the news article, also describes the Sydney session as following successful Brisbane and Melbourne events. The registration page similarly says the roadshow is coming to Sydney after events in Brisbane and Melbourne.

An earlier iTnews article published on April 16 said the roadshow was due to start in Brisbane on June 18 at Sofitel Brisbane. That article described the roadshow as a new event series tied to the release of the 2026 State of Security report, which it said would explore how organisations were responding to a more complex threat environment, regulatory pressure and the operational effects of AI.

The supplied registration page contains some apparent inconsistencies, including agenda text referring to enterprise AI topics such as Scaling AI, Agentic AI, and Data Sovereignty & Compliance, while other event materials for the Sydney security breakfast list Zero Trust, Data Security & AI Governance, and Centralising Security Information. The iTnews article and event listing both align on the security-focused agenda.

iTnews named Velvet-Belle Templeman, Deputy General Manager at iTnews, as a speaker, with additional speakers to be announced. A secondary account from Sherpa Intelligence’s Basecamp Briefing on September 25 also listed the iTnews State of Security Breakfast in Sydney among community news items.
