Show Notes
Australia faces a heightened global cyber threat environment driven by geopolitical tensions, with malicious actors continuing to target organizations of all types and sizes, which has led to rising cybercrime costs and serious data breaches. Drawing on guidance from the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), this episode details why boards must operate with a mindset of ‘assume compromise’ and oversee the defense of their organization’s most critical assets. We explore the four critical technical and governance areas for 2025-26: implementing better practice event logging, replacing legacy IT, managing third-party risks through the supply chain, and preparing for the post-quantum cryptography transition.
