Virtual Coverage for Australian Information Security Association (AISA) #CyberCon2025 Melbourne | Episode 2: Amberley Brady on Food #Security & #Cybersecurity
"Everyone Is Protecting My Password, But Who Is Protecting My Toilet Paper?" 🤔
Sean Martin, CISSP and I continue our virtual coverage of #AISA #CyberConMelbourne with Amberley Brady, who's asking a question most cybersecurity professionals may have not considered much: who's protecting our #food supply?
Australia produces food for 70 million people. That food moves through autonomous tractors, sensor networks, and supply chain software—critical infrastructure that's largely unprotected. Farmers get paid 40 cents per kilo while consumers pay $2.50. The markup? Invisible. The vulnerabilities? Everywhere.
Amberley built a platform to expose pricing transparency and advocate for an "Essential Nine" in Australia's cybersecurity framework—adding the human firewall to the technical Essential Eight.
She's presenting twice at CyberCon Melbourne (October 15-17):
📅 "Don't Outsource Your Thinking"
📅 "Everyone is Protecting My #Password, But No One's Protecting My Toilet Paper"
