Zero Trust Reality Check:The Stakes Have Never Been Higher.
The Chairman’s Club Flemington Racecourse
Friday 3rd October 2025 | 12pm – 2:30pm
You’re invited to an exclusive afternoon in the Chairman’s Club at Flemington Racecourse hosted personally by Neil Wilson, Chairman VRC.
As organisations adapt to increasingly complex security challenges, ZTA has become a critical strategy. But having a technology platform doesn’t guarantee security or organisational change. This executive only session will cut through the noise to understand what really works and what doesn’t.
While Melbourne Cup winners take home $8 million, the real prize in today’s market is bulletproof security that actually delivers. This isn’t another vendor pitch or theoretical deep-dive. It’s a candid conversation between peers.
What you’ll walk away with:
- How to scale beyond pilot purgatory and operating models that actually stick ROI metrics that get board buy-in for your security roadmap.
- Identity-first security thatdoesn't kill user experience.
- Real control across hybrid workers, cloud, and third-party apps.
- ZTA strategies that align with business outcomes, not just compliance boxes.
