June Community Night - Leon Poggioli and Sanam Makadia + Peter Lake
Tue, Jun 2, 7:30 AMHello friends, This month we will (finally!) be an entirely standalone community event, not for profit and volunteer run. We have booked a large event space in the Multicultural Hub across from Vic Market. Pizza and beverages will be graciously funded this month by Dragos, but we would really love to see other food and beverage sponsors in the future. **We can also really use additional volunteers to watch the door, help carry in food and drinks, or help with set up or clean up. Please send us a message if you're able to help.** This event will survive if people are involved and want to make it survive! Cheers, Lesley **Talk 1: A practical methodology to secure critical infrastructure** OT Cybersecurity is current in a “perfect storm scenario”. This is due to: ● Increased OT automation ● Increased regulation ● OT cyber maturity lags IT cyber maturity ● OT cyber risk impacts safety and production While many large organisations are well-resourced with dedicated teams, smaller organisations who aren’t able to appoint a dedicated OT Cybersecurity leader often struggle to deliver an effective OT Cybersecurity uplift program. This talk outlines why practical, lightweight approaches to complicated scenarios suit most critical infrastructure organisations and how such an approach would work in practice. **Speaker:** Leon Poggioli is the founder of NetSeg, an advisory organisation focused on consulting around OT Cybersecurity Strategy and Program Development. He founded NetSeg after recognising that many organisations with OT Cybersecurity obligations don’t have the necessary knowledge and experience to drive a program which requires different capabilities and stakeholders than IT Cybersecurity programs require. OT Cybersecurity is in a “perfect storm” - with increased OT automation and connectivity increasing the attack surface, increased regulations, not to mention the fact that any organisation with an OT network likely relies on that network to conduct their core business! Before founding NetSeg, Leon was the Australia New Zealand Country Manager for Claroty, one of the Gartner leaders for CPS (Cyberphysical Systems) Protection Platforms, and worked with a wide range of Australian and New Zealand organisations to drive their programs using Claroty’s technology. Leon also has a YouTube channel @NetSeg_IO where he shares short-form videos on a range of OT Cybersecurity topics. He has also been featured several times on Australian television and talkback radio. **Talk 2: Managing a Crisis in Critical Infrastructure -** **Incident Command System** Critical infrastructure is increasingly exposed to cyber-physical threats impacting essential services like energy, water, and transportation. This session introduces ICS4ICS, a proven incident response framework adapted for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT). It enables IT, OT, and cybersecurity teams to collaborate with clear roles, shared language, and coordinated response during high-impact incidents. Attendees will gain practical insights into managing cyber incidents that can escalate into physical disruptions, improving resilience and response effectiveness. Designed for cyber, natural, and accidental events, ICS4ICS supports cross-sector and public-private coordination. **Speakers:** Sanam Makadia • Cyber Security Architect and Advisor • Thought leader and advisor with more than 2 decades of experience in design, consulting, architecture, Risk and Governance • Interest in topics such as Cyber strategy, GRC, operational technology/industrial control systems (OT/ICS) and robotics & artificial intelligence (AI) Peter Lake • Cybersecurity Strategy Lead and CTF coach • Passionate about capacity building for neurodivergent young people, coaching, and building Cybersecurity career pathways. • Keen interest in critical infrastructure, space cyber awareness, incident response and management.

Wed, May 27, 8:00 AMRebecka Isaksson and Lukas Wünsch will give some impulses on and thereafter moderate a lively discussion to Communities of Practice (CoPs). The goal of the session would be to demonstrate and discuss how Communities of Practices can evolve beyond simple “social clubs” to become engines of strategic value. The impulse outlines the basics of effective CoPs, showing how they enhance innovation, creativity, employee wellbeing, and, ultimately, organisational productivity and profitability. The speakers will make very sure to properly blend the basic input re Communities of Practice with their practical experience from Community work across sectors. **Expected outcomes** Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of what makes Communities of Practice truly effective - and how they can evolve from informal social groups into engines of strategic value. Through a mix of practical impulses and a lively, moderated discussion, the session will unpack how CoPs strengthen innovation, creativity, wellbeing, and organizational performance.
