You Can’t Ask That is one of the most interesting and diverse programs on Australian television, that explores and embraces our differences. Our presentation combines this innovative and original format with AusCERT’s 2023 conference theme of looking back to help guide our way forward.

This fireside chat between Vanessa, a senior female information security leader and Shelly, a Program Manager and Board Director, aims to offer transparency, openness, courage and vulnerability to help improve the culture of the cyber security industry and break down stereotypes, while answering some very frank and often controversial questions people are afraid to ask.

Ever wanted to know something, but thought to yourself “you can’t ask that!”? Well, now you can. By putting these questions sourced from the public directly to our speakers, the uncensored* conversation will feature confronting, moving and surprising answers to the awkward questions we often judge people by.
