The City of Rockingham Naval and Defence Industry Conference is an annual forum connecting Australia’s defence sector with government, military and industry stakeholders. The 2025 conference focused on sovereign maritime capability, AUKUS developments and Defence estate infrastructure.

On behalf of Emu Exploit, Bhaw delivered a live cybersecurity hacking demonstration to SME leaders, military officers and diplomatic representatives, including the U.S. and UK Consuls General. The demonstration illustrated real-world offensive techniques relevant to threats facing defence supply chains and critical infrastructure.

Participants gained insight into the importance of proactive cybersecurity and continuous threat hunting. The demonstration helped prime contractors and defence suppliers understand how to identify and mitigate emerging cyber threats before they affect critical operations.

Held at the Gary Holland Community Centre in Rockingham, the event featured speakers from Curtin University, Austal, Lendlease, the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation, and the Perth USAsia Centre.
