Episode 374 Deep Dive: Mark Jones | The Department of No Is Over – Why Cyber Has to Lead AI Adoption
byKBI.Media

Mark Jones is Co Founder of MosaicalAI and has spent more than 25 years working across cybersecurity, technology risk, governance and resilience in complex environments where decisions need to be defensible and the cost of getting it wrong is high.

His work sits at the intersection of security, business leadership and change. He helps organisations understand risk, build capability in their people, create practical operating models, and move with confidence when technology is changing faster than traditional governance can keep up.

Today, Mark’s work is focused on AI. At MosaicalAI, he helps Australian organisations rebuild how teams work for the agentic era. His view is that every team runs on three things: people, technology and data, but most teams are still operating on a model built before AI. MosaicalAI maps how a team works today, builds the agentic version beside it, then rebuilds it with them.

Mark’s approach is AI native and cybersecurity driven. He does not start with tools or generic productivity use cases. He starts with the team, the workflow, the data, the controls, the risks and the decisions that matter. The goal is practical AI capability that the organisation owns, understands and can govern.

Cybersecurity is MosaicalAI’s first proof point because it is where AI adoption gets real quickly. Cyber teams already understand risk, evidence, accountability, control and resilience. When they use AI to improve triage, reporting, exposure management, control mapping, evidence gathering and decision support, they are better placed to guide safe AI adoption across the broader business.

Mark believes AI cannot simply be bolted onto an organisation. It needs ownership, guardrails, evidence, accountability, resilience and control from day one.

He is a Certified Information Security Manager and Certified Information Systems Security Professional, combining practical executive experience with globally recognised security credentials.

Taming the Gallop on Rising Cybersecurity Risk

Taming the Gallop on Rising Cybersecurity Risk

Introduction As the Lunar New Year ushers in a new cycle of The Horse, we can look to the traits of the traditional Chinese zodiac, which provide an admirable framework for cybersecurity objectives. Horses are commonly known for unbridled speed, agility, and making forward strides. These aren't just symbolic of cyber resilience: they are the new requirements for digital survival. With AI and automation in play the digital world is moving at a gallop. Attacks are no longer slow, manual, or opportunistic. They are continuous, adaptive, and ...

The Cybersecurity Problem We Still Haven’t Solved

Maintaining an accurate understanding of the IT assets that exist across an organisation's environment remains one of the most fundamental challenges in cybersecurity. This may sound like a basic security problem, but it continues to undermine security programs of all sizes. In fact, one of the most surprising findings from Arctic Wolf's latest State of the Cybersecurity Attack Surface report wasn't a new attack...

Shadow AI Is the Quiet Risk Behind the AI Dramas

Introduction Go to any get-together with friends and the conversation eventually turns to AI. People talk about the tool they have been using, and more often than not it is not the one their employer has approved. It is the one running on their personal account, on their own phone, signed up with a private email. They are not hiding anything sinister and have found something that genuinely helps them get through...

Spending Billions on AI Is the Easy Part

The Australian Government’s recent $7 billion commitment to AI infrastructure is the kind of headline-grabbing investment that commands attention, reassures industry, and sends a strong message to the rest of the world. It’s a gamechanger in positioning Australia as a serious player in the global AI race. But announcing the spend is the straightforward bit. Making it work is an entirely different proposition. Any...

Harnessing OSINT for Competitive and Cyber Advantage

Every organisation sits atop a vast field of open information: public records, digital footprints, market signals and the endless churn of online discourse. The challenge isn’t access anymore, but discernment. Those who can turn open data into strategic foresight hold an undeniable advantage. Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is a capability that redefines how organisations perceive risk and opportunity. When...

Rehumanizing Work With AI: Introducing the Human Capital Financial Statement

Introduction While most investors would agree that AI presents the opportunity of a lifetime, the journey will vary greatly from one organization to the next despite having access to the same technology. Too many of these organizations view AI as simply a replacement strategy versus an opportunity to redesign work around uniquely human capabilities. The most valuable companies of the next decade will not be those...

The Expanding Digital Attack Surface: Visibility Is Your New Superpower

Digital transformation is delivering extraordinary opportunities but is also creating a security paradox. Every new cloud workload, remote device and third-party tool adds power to the business while quietly enlarging the organisation’s attack surface. The more digital assets you operate, the more potential entry points you hand to attackers. Visibility has become the defining advantage because without a clear view...

Lessons From the Frontlines of AI Transformation

Artificial intelligence has rapidly evolved from isolated proofs and concepts to a defining pillar of enterprise strategy. Across Australia, leaders are moving beyond experimentation and into operational deployment, but achieving mixed success. According to the 2025 AI Deployment & Governance Survey, “Australians have embraced AI enthusiastically, yet 88% struggle to integrate generative AI into legacy systems,...

Data Sovereignty in a Borderless World: Rethinking Compliance & Cloud Strategy

Global enterprises are under mounting pressure to rethink how and where they manage data. Cross-border transfers, cloud adoption and shifting regulatory regimes elevates data sovereignty from a niche legal concern into a boardroom priority. Australia’s cloud-native shift is now embedded across banking, health and the public sector, and it’s unfolding under sharper scrutiny. Breach reporting under the Notifiable...

Quantum Security in the Router: QKD Without Additional Hardware

No quantum computer exists today that can break modern encryption. Yet the pressure on enterprises and government agencies to future-proof their cryptography for a potential post-quantum era is mounting. The reason: no one knows exactly when "Q-Day" will arrive, i.e. the point at which a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can crack classical public-key schemes such as RSA or elliptic curve cryptography. Current...

Australia’s Cyber Posture Needs More Than an Update

Introduction Australia’s cybersecurity industry has long operated on the assumption that better tools mean less vulnerability. Better threat detection, better endpoint protection, better monitoring. Yet, every year, the threat landscape widens faster than our defences can account for. Recent issues emerging from the rapid adoption of AI tools have offered an uncomfortable reminder of just how exposed organisations...

How Mythos Reshapes the Cyber Threat Landscape

The emergence of ‘Mythos’ is rapidly becoming one of the most discussed developments in cyber security circles, and for good reason. Positioned as a powerful new AI-driven capability, Mythos is less a conventional tool and more an accelerator of cyber offence, dramatically increasing the speed at which vulnerabilities can be discovered, chained together, and exploited. Mythos does not fundamentally invent new forms...

Cybersecurity Leaders Struggle to Turn Data Into Boardroom Decisions

Cybersecurity leaders are sitting on more data than ever, yet many organisations remain unable to translate it into decisions that resonate at board level. The core issue is not data scarcity, but the difficulty of converting technical signals into meaningful assessments of business risk. Security teams can track alerts, incidents, throughput, and response times in detail, yet still struggle to explain what those...

Defend the Next Cyberattack at Unprecedented Speed. Be IT a Human or an AI

The next cyberattack could be human, or a human engineering an AI from the outside, or an AI engineered from the inside. It could be a zero-day attack or a known weakness that was never mitigated. It could be a cyberattack, a collective, a lone warrior, or a disgruntled employee. It does not matter. What really matters is whether you were ready to face this onslaught. Or did you assume you would not be attacked, or...

Fragile or Future-ready? The Decisions Shaping Australia’s AI Ambitions

Introduction Senior data leaders are being asked to navigate a level of complexity that feels new, even by recent standards. Across Australia, organisations are under pressure to turn AI ambition into real outcomes, often while working with fragile data foundations that were never designed for this level of demand. Other factors compound that pressure. Economic conditions remain uncertain, budgets are under...

Why the Illusion of Control Is Failing Australian Identity Security Programmes

Most Australian enterprises believe they have identity security under control. Frameworks are in place, policies are documented, and zero trust strategies feature prominently in boardroom presentations and annual reports. On paper, it looks robust. In practice, many organisations are running identity controls that were designed for a world that no longer exists. Over the past few years, the industry has rightly...

Beyond ‘Vibe Coding’: Securing AI-Generated Software Requires a Risk-First Strategy

Introduction The era of "vibe coding" is officially here, and Asia Pacific is central to this trend, already hosting a rising number of vibe coding start-ups. AI coding has accelerated software delivery to a breakneck pace, but this velocity has come with a steep security tax. While the industry is enamoured with the speed of delivery, those of us in the trenches of Application Security (AppSec) are seeing a...

How Hyper-Synthetic Data is Shifting Cybersecurity from Proactive to Preemptive

For years, legacy cybersecurity incumbents have leveraged vast proprietary datasets into unassailable competitive positions and significant market capitalizations. Conventional wisdom held that the more comprehensive a firm’s real-world incident and telemetry data, the greater its advantage.  That moat, as well as legacy cybersecurity companies’ continued dominance, is now in jeopardy.  Recent research from...
