On the 18th of September, Global Tech Partners had the pleasure of hosting a Cyber Security Circle at International Chamber House in Melbourne, in partnership with the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The breakfast session brought together experts from industry and academia to explore the rapidly evolving world of cyber threats and how AI is being used by both attackers and defenders in the cybersecurity space.
Key insights from the discussion:
Cybersecurity moves at breakneck speed — what worked last month may already be outdated.
Core protections still matter: strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and timely system updates are essential.
Breaches are a question of when, not if. Organisations need clear incident response plans, defined roles, and communication strategies before a crisis hits.
Australia’s Cyber Security Strategy 2030 sets ambitious goals, but success depends on developing local talent and aligning policies across organisations.
Effective cybersecurity is more than tools — it requires collaboration, trust, and communication across every level of an organisation.
Looking ahead, it is crucial to focus on the role of AI in cyber defence, recognise how it is reshaping the threat landscape, and ensure cybersecurity professionals are equipped with the skills needed to meet these challenges.
A big thank you to panelists Jason Murrell and Andrew Cullen for sharing their expertise, and to AHK Australien for facilitating meaningful conversations across sectors.
