    Understanding CISOs as leaders, not just defenders, with PEXA's Graham Fairley

    Cyber security leadership matters now more than ever, and the role of CISO is the most important piece of the puzzle. Join Cyber Daily's David Hollingworth and PEXA's cyber lead, Graham Fairley, to discover how security can become a business enabler, not an afterthought. With the Australian Cyber Summit 2026 coming up later this month, David Hollingworth, deputy editor of Cyber Daily, is joined by the CISO of property settlement platform PEXA to deep dive into how the role of CISO can be a key part of any business's growth story. From enabling business growth via secure business practices, to treating cyber security as a whole-of-business necessity rather than just something that's "nice to have" – all while navigating the advancement of AI – this essential discussion will expand your idea of what a CISO can be.

    How PowerWater's CISO embeds cyber security into business strategy from day 1

    Some boards consider cyber security an IT problem. Others see it as a cost. However, Dominic Grunden, CISO at PowerWater, works with department leads to embed cyber security into business strategy from day one: making safety, security, and compliance a business enabler. Ahead of this year's Australian Cyber Summit, Australia's premier cyber security conference and awards, Liam Garman sits down with Grunden to discuss how cyber leaders can communicate strategy to C-suite executives. To hear more about how CISOs are reforming risk and business strategy, secure your tickets for the Australian Cyber Summit here. Grunden dives into how he embeds cyber security into business strategy and how cyber leaders can collaborate with department heads to ensure that security is not a last-minute bottleneck for business growth. From translating complex threats into decisions executives actually act on, to balancing innovation with protection in one of Australia's most high-stakes infrastructure environments: this is a critical conversation business leaders need to have.

    CONTESTED GROUND: Successive governments have failed to prepare Australia for the era of polycrisis, with Marc Ablong PSM, Geostrategic Risk Partners

    The war in the Middle East has served to reveal the now metastising vulnerabilities that permeate Australia's economic, political and strategic ecosystems, leaving the nation and its interests exposed. Australians are increasingly getting the sense that the country is rudderless, struggling to overcome the mounting swell that is serving to swamp our seemingly ill-prepared national "boat". In the latest episode of the special Contested Ground series unpacking the fallout and implications of the conflict in the Middle East, host Steve Kuper is joined by geostrategic analyst and former Defence policymaker Marc Ablong PSM as they interrogate the nation's preparedness, the era of polycrisis and mobilisation in the modern era. As part of this, the pair deep dive into what makes a "polycrisis" and why it feels like Australia and Australians are seemingly paddling from one storm to another, both at home and abroad, undermining our national resilience and the nation's capacity to rally in the event of major regional crisis. They then move on to dissect the challenges of contemporary mobilisation being faced by Australia and like-minded nations across Europe and the United Kingdom, specifically the issues surrounding social cohesion, economic, political and social dislocation and atomisation among young Australians that directly impact national security and resilience. Finally, the pair discuss Australia's glaring lack of compelling narrative and plan to rally Australians of all generations that leave many feeling like Australia is inescapably caught in a period of managed decline, at a time when the nation's economic, political and strategic security and prosperity faces increasing tension and challenge.

    The CISO Brief: Is AI going to transform banking more than the internet and electricity?

    This week on The CISO Brief, the Cyber Daily team discusses comments made by banking industry leaders on AI and how it will transform banking and other sectors. Hosts Liam Garman and Daniel Croft discuss JPMorgan and CEO Jamie Dimon, who says AI will change almost every aspect of the banking industry. The two then cover AI that is already being used within the sector, with Citigroup using the technology for customer onboarding, cutting an hour off new account openings. Finally, the two touch on Atlassian and how it has begun implementing AI into its core products, following its major economic downturn as investors lose faith in SaaS.

  5. AI to change banking forever, Iranian cyber attacks, and Australia to tackle DPRK fake IT workers

    AI to change banking forever, Iranian cyber attacks, and Australia to tackle DPRK fake IT workers

    David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft tackle the week's stories that matter, from predictions of dire disruption to the banking industry, Iranian cyber warfare, North Korean hackers in our code, and Americans and Aussies partnering up to combat North Korean hackers. Artificial intelligence, says JP Morgan's boss, is going to change banking forever, while at the same time, Atlassian is laying off staff in order to fund its AI developments. There's no doubt AI is the fox in the henhouse right now, and Hollingworth and Croft take a hard look at where things really stand. Then it's on to cyber security, with pro-Iran hackers targeting critical infrastructure and North Korean hackers getting inside the code every developer relies upon. These are two massive challenges for network defenders, and every CISO needs to understand the stakes at play. Finally, sticking with North Korea, there is some good news – Australia and the United States are now working together to fight back against the scourge of fake IT workers infiltrating our workplaces to fund weapons research and steal intellectual property. Just another week in cyber security. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut Team

    The CISO Brief: Real estate scams cost Australians thousands, new scam tactics, and fake North Korean résumés

    This week on The CISO Brief, the Cyber Daily team discusses the evolving nature of the scam environment and how it's costing Australians massively, before outlining how foreign actors may be infiltrating your business. Hosts Liam Garman and Daniel Croft discuss a recent close call with a scammer that almost secured $100,000 from an unknowing Australian property buyer. The two then cover how scams are evolving in general, with scammers imitating hold music and bypassing multifactor authentication by a middleman calling. Finally, the two discuss North Korean actors posing as potential hires for Australian businesses to gain access to networks for espionage. Enjoy the show, The Cyber Daily team

    Lloyds Bank AI woes and wins, Aussie toy store hacked, and a new Children's Online Privacy Code

    On this not-to-be-missed podcast, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft look at the AI best of times and worst of times for the UK's Lloyds Bank, see what LockBit's up to in the ransomware space, and have a look at Australia's new draft Children's Online Privacy Code. Good news for Lloyds – the UK's biggest bank is deploying AI to bolster its data engineering. It's a smart move that makes sense of the technology, however... Bad news for Lloyds – the UK's biggest bank may have just exposed a mountain of customer data due to an AI glitch. The pair also break down how the LockBit ransomware group has evolved and why an Australian toy store may be the perfect target, before having a look at the impact of scams on the Aussie and how terrorist groups are taking advantage of our generosity. Finally, it's good news, as the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) is looking at rewriting the rules to protect our kids' data online. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team

    CONTESTED GROUND: Apathy, complacency and the 'Lucky Country', Australia's predicament is entirely self-inflicted, with Ben Dullroy

    Australia has long prided itself on being the "Lucky Country", celebrating a culture of "she'll be right" now that a national culture of apathy is biting at home as the world continues to burn. As the war in the Middle East continues to rage by the day, Australia and Australians are beginning to feel the very real ramifications in our daily lives. All of this comes as Australia's political leaders and policymakers continue to point fingers at one another for the respective failures over the past three decades that have all combined to leave Australia dangerously exposed to the shocks of the new multipolar world. But these aren't the only challenges that are serving to leave Australia in a volatile, unpredictable position, as social cohesion, industrial and economic resilience and demographics combine to create a powder keg for both the public and its policymakers. Host Steve Kuper is joined by Ben Dullroy of Beaten Zone Venture Partners and Bravo Delta Advisory as they break down the combination of global and domestic factors shaping the nation's resilience, stability and security. This conversation comes at a time when the public and private debate continues about who has failed the nation, were the ultimate costs of neoliberal hyperglobalisation worth it and can we pivot quickly enough to secure our economic, political and strategic interests?
