In an increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world, the diversity and growth of security threats creates a threat environment, which calls for a new and innovative approach to the way Government Agencies and their suppliers manage risk.

Ranging from terrorist attacks, cyber-enabled espionage and attacks, active armed offenders and general criminality, as well as the increasing concerns about foreign interference, both the public and private sectors have much to consider. The Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) has been developed to assist Australian Government entities to protect their people, information and assets, at home and overseas. The launch of the new PSPF reforms in the second half of 2018 created an opportunity for the evolution of the way Government Agencies, their partners, suppliers and staff manage these risks.

Building on the success of last year’s event, this year’s Protective Security in Government (PSG) Conference and Exhibition’s theme is focused on aspects related to building and maintaining a robust security and risk culture. The PSG 2019 continues to provide a unique opportunity for everyone involved in Government Security to network, update knowledge and skills, gain exposure to new trends and technology as well as hear directly from representatives of the Attorney-General’s PSPF team and other government sector stakeholders about latest trends.
