Communication As Infrastructure – Why Dialogue Is A Business Advantage

In the Asia, Pacific and Japan (APJ) region, one of the biggest challenges for businesses isn’t technology, it’s communication. The region spans more than 23 major languages, multiple dialects and profoundly different business cultures. Translating messages correctly matters, but real success comes from designing systems that can listen, respond and adapt at scale. The Australian market offers a clear example of...

From 398 to 200 Days: Understanding the TLS Certificate Lifespan Reduction

Digital trust is entering a new phase, and on March 15, 2026, a policy change will take effect that reshapes how organisations approach security. In 2025, the CA/Browser Forum, a consortium of browser vendors and certificate authorities, approved revisions to public TLS standards, introducing a phased reduction in certificate lifespans to better address modern threats. After extensive industry-wide debate, the...

Eliminating the Technical Debt Caused by AI-Assisted Software Development

If recent industry forecasts are correct, 2026 will be the year of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technical debt. According to research company Forrester[1], the tech debt for 75% of organisations will increase to a moderate or high level during this year, due to the rapid expansion of AI usage across a range of areas including software development. Indeed, the software development community is experiencing a...

Navigating AI with Cyber-Resilient Storage: Use Cases Lead, Infrastructure Enables

I’ve recently discussed the evolving landscape of intelligent data infrastructure on platforms like Techstrong TV. In these conversations, a recurring theme emerges: major trends like cloud and AI are reshaping enterprises, but their adoption is propelled primarily by compelling use cases. Infrastructure may not take center stage, but it’s the essential enabler that makes those use cases viable, efficient, and...

Security Metrics That Matter

Introduction Organisations must move beyond reactive security postures and embrace data-driven decision-making as the sophistication and prevalence of threat actors continues to increase. For start-ups, especially those scaling rapidly or navigating compliance requirements, understanding and tracking the right cybersecurity metrics is crucial. Security metrics provide clarity: they help prioritise risks, optimise...

Rethinking Cyber Resilience in the Age of AI

AI has fundamentally changed how we think about both innovation and risk. It’s driving new breakthroughs in medicine, design, and productivity, but it’s also giving attackers a sharper edge. Ransomware isn’t just about encrypting data anymore. It’s about double extortion, data theft, and the erosion of trust that organizations depend on to operate. As threat actors become more adaptive and use AI for more...

Cisco’s Bid to Anchor the Agentic Enterprise

The Shift to Agentic Enterprise AI Artificial Intelligence (AI) now alters the commercial world with a speed that feels less evolutionary and more tectonic. Infrastructure strains, security models stretch, collaboration tools morph. In that context, Cisco has positioned itself not merely as a participant, but as a structural layer in what it sees as the next phase of enterprise computing. During a recent company...

Future-Proofing Your Data Infrastructure with Post-Quantum Cryptography

The arrival of quantum computing isn’t a question of if—but when. And when it does arrive at scale, it will break the very encryption systems that protect the digital backbone of modern business. From banking records and intellectual property to classified communications, data that’s secure today could be exposed tomorrow. That’s why forward-thinking organizations are already investing in post-quantum...

Rising Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities In Increasingly Interconnected IT/OT Environments

From Outage to Infiltration: Cybersecurity Risk and the Evolving Threat to Electrical Infrastructure As electrical infrastructure modernizes, its vulnerabilities evolve in parallel. From substation automation to AI-powered grid management, today’s systems have developed from the isolated hardware of the past to converged digital ecosystems with data pathways, network connections, and embedded intelligence. Every...

Cyber Dashboards are Making Boards Feel Safer…and That’s the Real Risk

Introduction Boards today have never seen more cyber risk data. Dashboards glow with heat maps, scores, alerts and reassuring trend lines. Cyber is now a standing agenda item, backed by metrics designed to prove the organisation is in control. And yet, beneath this apparent clarity sits an uncomfortable truth. Many boards are less safe precisely because they believe they can see everything. This is not a failure of...

KnowBe4 Experts Calls for ‘Digital Mindfulness’ and Skepticism as AI Dominates Safer Internet Day 2026

As the world prepares for Safer Internet Day on 10 February 2026, KnowBe4 is encouraging individuals of all ages to adopt a mindset of ‘digital mindfulness’ to stay safe online. This year’s theme, ‘Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI’, highlights the urgent need for a new set of digital skills in the world of AI. With Artificial Intelligence (AI) now a permanent fixture in the...

Safer Internet Day 2026

Introduction On Safer Internet Day, it’s worth recognising a simple reality: AI is reshaping the Internet in two directions at once. The same tools accelerating productivity and innovation are also industrialising cybercrime, making attacks faster to launch, cheaper to run, and harder to spot. We’ve seen the impact in Australia. In 2024–25, the Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre...

Data Resilience in a Post-Quantum World

Introduction As cyberthreats grow more sophisticated and the quantum era draws closer, resilience is no longer just a best practice—it’s a business imperative. Many organizations have focused on breach prevention. Forward-looking enterprises are shifting to a resilience-first model. This model prioritizes continuity, recovery, and adaptability in the face of emerging risks. Why Resilience Is the New Gold Standard...

Securing the New Gaming Frontier: Data Infrastructure at Play

Introduction The gaming industry is in the midst of an extraordinary transformation. Immersive digital worlds, AI-driven gameplay, and massive global online communities are reshaping how we play, connect, and innovate. But as this digital ecosystem grows, so does the complexity of managing it safely and effectively. This frontier, rich with opportunity, also brings evolving challenges for studios that must secure...

Deepfake Diplomacy – AI Impersonation’s Attack on Sovereign Security

The rise of AI-powered impersonation—ranging from synthetic voice deepfakes to algorithmically generated messages—poses a critical threat to government, defense, and national infrastructure. A recent incident involving an AI-generated impersonation of a U.S. Secretary of State underscores the urgency of this threat. State-sponsored actors are increasingly exploiting consumer-grade messaging apps including Signal to...

Building Resilience Through AI-Driven Security

The pace and complexity of adversarial attacks is rapidly evolving. According to the 2024 Cybersecurity Visibility Study conducted by NetApp and Futurum Group, more than half (54%) of enterprises have experienced a cyberattack in the past 12-18 months. Even more troubling, one in five of these organizations were unable to recover their data. The situation underscores an urgent need for businesses to reimagine their...

Reducing Cyber and Physical Risks: What Every IT Manager Should Know About Access Control

Access control has long been treated as a function of facilities teams, focused on unlocking and locking doors. As digital systems and physical spaces become more interconnected, that point of view needs to be rethought. Access control is now playing an added role to cybersecurity and operational strategy. The systems that determine who can enter buildings and sensitive areas are linked with IT infrastructure,...
