As Australia navigates an increasingly complex global landscape, the intersection of artificial intelligence, geopolitical tension and ongoing disruption is reshaping how national security is understood and delivered. From cyber threats and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities to shifting alliances and economic pressures, the challenges are becoming more interconnected and less predictable.

It will also consider the need for adaptive strategies, cross-sector collaboration and forward-thinking leadership, highlighting how resilience and security must evolve to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.
