Cyber ​​Security Connect, in partnership with Palo Alto Networks, has rebranded Cyber ​​Daily in response to growing demand for news and information covering Australia’s wider cyber sector.

Cyber ​​Daily is part of Momentum Media’s suite of media brands and events that support areas of critical importance to the Australian economy and its security, including InvestorDaily.

The evolution of the platform is in line with the digital transformation currently shaping Australian business and geopolitics, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to information systems, international relations and, of course, cyber security.

Cyber ​​Daily editor Liam Garman said the expanded market intelligence and news platform would help businesses navigate the increasingly complex environment that is cyberspace, rather than focusing solely on cyber security.

“No business can avoid the need for cyber security. Cyber ​​security is as important to Australian business as insurance, HR and payroll systems. But Australia's cyber revolution is about much more than just security – which is the main catalyst for Cyber ​​Daily's rebranding,” Garman said.

“Digital transformation enables businesses to scale their services, which means leveraging the emerging technologies at hand, from artificial intelligence to digitized workflow systems.

“While cyber security will continue to be a core focus of the platform, we are expanding our reach to cover the full spectrum of Australia's digital transformation and help businesses navigate their cyber journey.

"Whether it's e-commerce, marketing, compliance and governance, finance or manufacturing, cyberspace is at the heart of modern Australian business," he said.

"It also dictates and dominates the economy at all levels, the business environment, Australia's security and, importantly, how people interact with goods and services, receive information, and how they connect and communicate."

In line with the expansion of the media platform, the Cyber ​​Security Uncut podcast will be renamed to Cyber ​​Uncut – which was revealed by podcast co-host Phil Tarrant, director of defense and security at Momentum Markets, with Garman during the latest episode.

The podcast will provide breaking news and analysis on Australia's cyber sector, with co-host Major General (retd) Dr Marcus Thompson, Australian Defense Force Chief of Information Warfare and Director of Cyber ​​Compass.

"Cyber ​​security is one part of the transformation of the Australian economy to a digital future, but cyber security is much broader," Tarrant said.

“Cyber ​​Uncut will offer us the opportunity to talk about areas that matter to Australia: from the latest cyber attack vectors to quantum computing and even influence campaigns that are designed to manipulate Australia's security, sovereignty and prosperity. "

"In discussion with Marcus, we will analyse, unpack, interpret and offer commentary on cyberspace's utility and necessity for Australian business, C-suite executives and company directors," he said.

"We will also look at cyberspace through the lens of the national security environment for Australia and its global allies, its role in modern warfare, plus its positive and negative impact as a vehicle for influence, crime, foreign interference and international relations."

Cyber ​​Daily will continue to feature the premier cyber security industry events: the Australian Cyber ​​Security Summit and the Australian Cyber ​​Security Awards, with other new initiatives to be announced soon.

Held in June, the Australian Cyber ​​Security Summit & Awards brought together industry professionals from across Australia to learn about emerging trends from the Australian Government and the world's leading security providers.

The event was supported by Principal Partner Palo Alto Networks, Platinum Partner archTIS, and Gold Partners AUCloud, Claroty, HashiCorp, Introspectus, and the Department of the Interior's Center for Cyber ​​and Infrastructure Security.

Palo Alto Networks, Cyber ​​Daily's re-launch partner, said the expansive attitude towards cyberspace continues to dominate the Australian business, economy and security environment and is proud to support the important initiative to raise awareness, education and sector development .

"The cybersecurity industry is constantly evolving, and we're excited to see Cyber ​​Daily lead this new chapter," said Steve Manley, vice president of ANZ at Palo Alto Networks.

“Cyber ​​security is more important than ever and we are committed to providing the best possible security and protection for Australia. As a global leader in cybersecurity, Palo Alto Networks is committed to working with our customers and partners, and we believe that by working together, we can create a more secure future for everyone.”
