This panel will explore how government and industry buyers can use procurement to lift cyber security standards across their supply chains, and what sovereign capability means when choosing vendors. Speakers from government, the resources and energy sectors, and the cyber security industry will share insights on setting and verifying supplier requirements, managing third party and concentration risk, and assessing foreign ownership, control or influence.

The discussion will highlight real world examples of how large organisations are raising the bar for suppliers without shutting out small and local businesses.
