“The views reflected in this podcast are the views of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the global EY organization or its member firms.”

In this episode, we sit down with John Hare, Associate Partner, Cyber Security from EY as he discusses the latest EY research on what those organisations that achieve the best security outcomes (“Secure Creators”) do differently to their less secure peers (“Prone Enterprises”).

We also explore how Secure Creators are responding to the recent surge in AI and GenAI use – both in the cyber function (AI for Cyber) and throughout the enterprise (Cyber for AI). John provides insights into how AI presents an opportunity for astute cyber teams to cement themselves as the true enablers of technology transformation, rather than “the department of no”.

John has 25 years of professional experience, spanning cybersecurity, diplomacy and law. John began his career as an M&A lawyer in London and Tokyo, before serving as a British diplomat for 9 years. John has spent the last decade working on cybersecurity, as a consultant, inside a major bank, and as a regional executive for a technology company.

John advises Australia’s leading financial services organisations on their cybersecurity strategies, adopting global better practice, and making cybersecurity a value creation driver.
