ISC2 Colombo Chapter, Sri Lanka

Another great evening of learning, sharing, and connecting with the cybersecurity community! 🔐

We recently concluded an insightful in person session organized by the ISC2 Colombo Chapter – Sri Lanka, featuring Raj Udayanga, Group Manager – Cyber Security Operations at Monash University.

The session offered a fascinating look into the 2026 cyber threat landscape, including insights from the joint MON-CSIRT and AUSCERT Threat Report, emerging threats to watch, and the evolving challenges facing the higher education sector.

A big thank you to Raj Udayanga for sharing his experiences and practical insights with us. Your perspective from the Australian higher education sector made the discussion truly valuable. 🙏

And a special thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed through discussions, and active participation. The energy and engagement from the audience made the evening even more meaningful! 👏

It was great to see the cybersecurity community coming together not just to learn, but also to connect, exchange experiences, and build relationships.

A fantastic evening of learning, collaboration, and networking at the ISC2 Colombo Chapter Member Day Event – "AI Angels & Demons: Cyber Warfare of AI Defenders and Attackers."

As Artificial Intelligence continues to transform the cybersecurity landscape, the discussion highlighted both sides of the equation how AI is empowering defenders to detect and respond to threats more effectively, while also enabling attackers with increasingly sophisticated capabilities. It was an insightful session that encouraged us to think critically about securing the future of AI-driven digital ecosystems.
