Hosts MAJGEN (Ret'd) Marcus Thompson and Phil Tarrant highlight the need for cyber security awareness across the banking and finance sector. The pair begin by issuing a warning over the spike in malicious cyber activity from Russian actors following the Commonwealth government’s decision to impose sanctions on the country in response to its invasion of Ukraine. MAJGEN Thompson and Tarrant go on to discuss their contributions to strengthening cyber security awareness across the country, with the pair touring Australia to help inform the banking and finance community at The Adviser’s Better Business Summit 2022. The hosts stress the importance of building cyber resilience in the sector, which they agree should be treated as critical infrastructure. Finally, the pair explain how public policy and government-backed institutions can better equip organisations with the tools to combat cyber threats. Enjoy the podcast, The Cyber Security Uncut team.
