# Cyber Resilience Summit NSW 2026 in Sydney

Post by Jean-Baptiste Bres, published on 30 October 2026.

Great to have participated in the **Cyber Resilience Summit NSW 2026 in Sydney**, discussing the rise of nation-state cyber threats and what this means for Australian organisations.
Our panel explored how state-backed cyber operations are evolving, which organisations may be targets without necessarily recognising it, the role of threat intelligence, and how **international events are changing the threat landscape**. We also discussed the challenge for boards and operators: balancing national security considerations with commercial realities.
A key takeaway for me: **geopolitical risk is increasingly technology risk**. Building resilience requires understanding not only the threats we face, but why our organisations, data and supply chains may be strategically relevant.
Thank you to my fellow panellists [Jen Stockwell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenstockwell/) (Telstra), [Geoff White](https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffwhitetech/) (BBC), [Gai Brodtmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gai-brodtmann-gaicd-851946161/) (ANU) for the thoughtful discussion, and to [Eddie Knott](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edward-knott/) for bringing the [Forefront Cyber Community](https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/forefront-cyber-community/?originalSubdomain=au) together for an important conversation.
