The CISO Brief: SOCI Act to change, banking budgets under strain, and are remote workers a cyber liability?

Changes are coming to the Australian digital landscape, and in this week's episode of the CISO Brief, Liam Garman and David Hollingworth explore the essential details of what every CISO needs to know. The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI Act) entails how critical infrastructure should be operated and protected, and the government has proposed some vital changes, including giving ministers the power to ban certain hardware and software vendors. AI budgets come under the microscope next, with banking and the financial sector looking to match AI uptake, while managing essential legacy systems remains a particular challenge. Here's what you need to know. Finally, Garman and Hollingworth discuss remote workers and whether they're a cyber security risk or a productivity force multiplier. As many countries respond to the current fuel crisis with new work-from-home mandates, CISO Brief has some essential advice for network defenders with distributed workforces.
