In our tech-driven age, code isn’t just a part of our lives—it’s the heartbeat of our digital existence. From simplifying our daily tasks to opening doors to new innovations, it powers everything we do. Yet, with recent high-profile breaches the stakes have never been higher. How can we harness the potential of code while safeguarding against its pitfalls?
We invite you to join us as we deep dive into the world of digital infrastructure and unravel the dual-edged sword of our digital reliance—celebrating the possibilities while tackling the complexities and risks that come with them.
Our expert panel, spearheaded by Dr. Sebastian Sequoiah-Grayson, will lead a thought-provoking discussion on:
Cybersecurity Essentials: How to protect and fortify our digital realm.
Crafting Superior Code: The art and science behind reliable and efficient programming.
The Broader Impact: Exploring the economic, social, and legal impacts of digital infrastructure.
Plus, discover more on the boundless opportunities that digital technology offers for innovation and growth.
We look forward to welcoming you to this engaging and important discussion.

Seb’s research reaches across theoretical artificial intelligence and the ethics of information technology. On the mathematical side of things, he is busy with substructural epistemic logics in the space of knowledge representation and reasoning. On the agency side, he is busy with an anti-foundationalist approach to free will and action, and virtue ethics as an escape from neo-luddite seductions. He sees AI as an affordance for human flourishing.
Lyria is a Professor and Head of the School of Law, Society and Criminology in the Faculty of Law and Justice at UNSW Sydney. She is also co-lead of the Law and Policy theme in the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre and Faculty Lead, Law and Justice in the UNSW Institute for Cyber Security. Lyria's research explores issues around the relationship between technology and law, including the types of legal issues that arise as technology changes, how these issues are addressed in Australia and other jurisdictions, and the problems of treating “technology” as an object of regulation. Recently, she has been working on legal and policy issues associated with the use of artificial intelligenceand the appropriate legal framework for enhancing cyber. She is on the Executive Committee of the Australian Chapter of the IEEE’s Society for the Social Implications of Technology and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law and the Royal Society of NSW.
Dr. Hammond Pearce is a Lecturer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Previously he worked at the NYU Center for Cybersecurity as a Research Assistant Professor, and at NASA Ames on a research internship. He researches the intersections of AI, cybersecurity, software, and hardware design. As part of his research work he recently won the Cybersecurity Award 2023 for the Best Machine Learning and Security Paper and the inaugural Efabless AI Generated Open-Source Silicon Design Challenge.
Ian is the Founder and CEO of Avertro, a venture-backed, global cybersecurity software company. He has over two decades of cybersecurity, business, and leadership experience in a variety of global roles spanning advisory, strategy, sales, marketing, product, services, and technology functions in some of the world’s leading companies including McAfee, Ernst & Young, and IBM.
