Cyber criminals and nation-state actors are no longer relying on malware alone – they're exploiting trust. Here's what you need to know to fight back. ThreatLocker's Emile Barakat joins Cyber Daily's David Hollingworth to help Australia's business leaders understand how threat actors target professionals on platforms like LinkedIn – and how it needs to be addressed. Whether it's a fake recruiter, consultant, or business partner, attackers invest weeks or months in building credibility before asking victims to open a file, run code, or share sensitive information. The old advice of "don't click suspicious links" is no longer enough – employees must learn to question suspicious opportunities just as much as suspicious emails. Traditional security awareness training also needs an overhaul. Quarterly phishing exercises remain important, but modern attacks increasingly hide behind legitimate-looking software, trusted open-source tools, and highly personalised AI-driven social engineering. The message for business leaders is simple, says Barakat: assume your organisation is a target, regardless of its size. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut Team

Across Southeast Asia, generative AI pilots are stalling—not from a lack of model power, but from broken retrieval. Agentic RAG bridges this gap: autonomous agents that verify facts, enforce governance, and execute end-to-end workflows. For CIOs in 2026, this turns fragile experiments into auditable, scalable profit centres. With Gartner warning that 60% of AI projects will be abandoned due to poor data and weak controls, agentic RAG is no longer optional—it is the only practical path from pilot to production. In markets like Singapore, where data residency and compliance are non-negotiable, retrieval intelligence is now the bedrock of ROI.In this PodChats for FutureCIO, Ed Keisling, Chief AI Officer, Progress Software, discusses how CIOs and heads of AI across Southeast Asia, can turn AI pilots and POCs into profit-generating initiatives for enterprises in 2026.What is RAG?Given that most regional AI pilots never scale, what specific architectural weaknesses does agentic RAG fix that traditional RAG or fine-tuning cannot?In markets with fragmented data landscapes—legacy systems, multilingual content, and disparate cloud storage—how does agentic RAG ensure consistent, high-quality retrieval at enterprise scale?What out-of-the-box governance and audit trails does agentic RAG provide to satisfy both local data residency laws (e.g., Singapore's PDPA) and board-level risk controls?For CIOs managing lean teams, how does agentic RAG reduce the operational burden of maintaining retrieval pipelines, monitoring hallucinations, and orchestrating multi-step agent workflows? How can agentic RAG help move beyond isolated use cases (e.g., customer support) toward fully autonomous, end-to-end processes spanning finance, supply chain, and compliance?As agents become more autonomous by 2027, what retrieval strategies will prevent cascading errors or unauthorised actions, and what should CIOs implement today to stay safe?(original 3) How should CIOs in Singapore and across Southeast Asia measure the ROI of retrieval intelligence compared to simply upgrading large language models?For regional enterprises without custom AI stacks, what vendor or open-source scaffolding for agentic RAG offers the fastest path from pilot to profit while preserving data sovereignty?What organisational, data, and leadership shifts must CIOs prioritise over the next 12–18 months to ensure agentic RAG transitions from a technical capability into a sustained source of competitive advantage?

Sources suggested Iranian air defence systems were activated. However, the US said they were not involved, and Iran then denied any explosions at all; Bushehr's officials said they intercepted projectiles.Mediators are working to get the US and Iran back at the negotiating table, CNN reported, citing sources, later echoed by Axios.Brent is firmer by USD 0.30/bbl, in a narrow range as the magnitude of geopolitical updates slowed throughout the APAC session into Friday.APAC bourses were entirely firmer, European futures point to a flat start to the day, while US futures are marginally softer, NQ -0.2%.USD remains under pressure, with the JPY the primary beneficiary.

How dangerous are battery storage fires, really? Despite the headlines, grid-scale battery fire failure rates have fallen 99% since 2018 - from around 4 incidents per gigawatt hour to under 0.1. Even as global deployment scaled into the tens of gigawatt hours. Most people still picture a whole site going up in flames. The engineering tells a very different story. Dan Sherlock-Burke, Director of Asset Management at Gore Street Capital, joins Ed Porter for a technical look at how battery fire safety actually works - from the Moss Landing fire that shaped public perception, to the data that can flag a failing module weeks before it fails. He explains what really happens minute-by-minute when a cell enters thermal runaway, why most BESS fires trace back to operations rather than faulty cells, and why fire suppression isn't always the safeguard it appears to be.They cover:- Battery fire propagation: why "let it burn" is increasingly viable, and how modern container design has made fires spreading across a site vanishingly rare- BESS fire statistics: how EPRI's failure incident database shows a fall from around 4 incidents per gigawatt hour in 2018 to under 0.1 today, a 99% reduction- What causes battery fires: why only ~11% start with a faulty cell, while ~65% trace back to operations and integration- LFP vs NMC battery chemistry: lower combustion temperatures, no self-supplied oxygen, and why lithium iron phosphate still isn't "inherently safe"- Battery fire suppression: the contrarian case for why the wrong system can turn a fire into an explosionAsk Ko, Modo Energy's AI analyst, about battery storage safety and fire risk.

A thousand days after October 7th — and Benjamin Netanyahu wants to talk about unity. This week, as Israel edges closer toward elections, Yonit and Jonathan discuss a prime minister campaigning on togetherness after- say his critics- a long career spent dividing Israelis against each other, and trace the strange alliance between Israel's nationalist right and the ultra-Orthodox parties who for the most part reject Zionism on principle.   Zohran Mamdani keeps doubling down on Israel and AIPAC, six months into his mayoralty — and sees no reason to slow down. And as America turns 250, Jonathan asks an uncomfortable question about what happens to a constitution when the people meant to enforce it simply don't.   Plus: our Chutzpah award goes to a finance minister taking credit for something he objected to while our Mensch of the week pulls off an unexpected feat of German diplomacy - and language.

Ali Kashani, Co-Founder and CEO of Serve Robotics, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how Serve Robotics scaled its delivery fleet into an operating layer for physical AI.Over the past year, Serve Robotics has grown from roughly 50 robots to 2,000, and in Q1 2026 the company reported $3 million in revenue with 45% coming from recurring software licenses.To achieve that growth, Serve is now selling their stack as modular layers, letting other companies license the connectivity, data infrastructure, or hardware piece by piece rather than build everything from scratch. This includes a freemium version of Autonomy Assist, its version of remote assistance.As the company continues to grow Serve is ramping production of their Gen 3 vehicle, which runs at one-third the cost of Gen 2 while delivering five times the compute, a 48-mile range, four-wheel steering and suspension, and the ability to operate in heavy rain.The vehicles are sub-assembled in Asia with the completed final assembly occurring in with Magna International in Michigan. This give the company the flexibility to manufacture end to end in Asia for markets where US tariffs make domestic production uneconomical. With international expansion underway in Tokyo and Sydney this year and a larger push planned for 2027, Serve is positioning to follow demand across the APAC region and beyond.Episode Chapters0:00 Growing and Scaling Revenue8:51 Licensing the Platform11:17 World Models14:59 The Laundry Vertical16:52 Expanding Internationally22:39 Gen 3 Vehicle26:17 Edge Cases28:43 Future Form Factors30:09 Diligent Robotics Acquisition34:06 The Operating Layer of Physical AI36:21 Future of Serve Robotics36:54 AUTNMY AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, Indices and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

The atmosphere is unpredictable, and weather forecasts are far more reliable on some days than others. For anyone trading power or gas across Europe, knowing the difference is everything. It's what separates a confident call from an expensive guess. In this conversation, Ed is joined by Matt Dobson - Head of European Energy Forecasting and Emma Patmore, Energy Meteorologist from MetDesk. They walk us through when they can trust what they're seeing and when they can't, and how they turn an uncertain forecast into something traders can actually act on. Along the way they cover wind droughts (or Dunkelflaute), a possible record El Niño, river levels that shut down power stations, and the rise of AI weather modelsThey cover- How weather forecast accuracy isn't fixed: Why a day-ahead wind forecast lands within 10–15% around 80% of the time, but a shifted low-pressure track can swing output 30–40%.- Dunkelflaute explained: How a blocking high-pressure system causes a wind drought, and why the longest recent German event ran nine days in early November 2024.- El Niño and energy markets: Why a milder autumn means lower heating demand and gives traders reason to sell Q4 gas.- AI weather models vs traditional models: why AI is pulling ahead at the 10–20 day horizon while traditional models stay sharper on fine-scale detail.- Heatwaves and nuclear power: How 40°C heat in France and low river levels force nuclear curtailment and Rhine freight limits, echoing 2022.Want to see how weather is moving European power and gas prices right now?

Along the way they cover wind droughts (or Dunkelflaute), a possible record El Niño, river levels that shut down power stations, and the rise of AI weather modelsThey cover- How weather forecast accuracy isn't fixed: Why a day-ahead wind forecast lands within 10–15% around 80% of the time, but a shifted low-pressure track can swing output 30–40%.- Dunkelflaute explained: How a blocking high-pressure system causes a wind drought, and why the longest recent German event ran nine days in early November 2024.- El Niño and energy markets: Why a milder autumn means lower heating demand and gives traders reason to sell Q4 gas.- AI weather models vs traditional models: why AI is pulling ahead at the 10–20 day horizon while traditional models stay sharper on fine-scale detail.- Heatwaves and nuclear power: How 40°C heat in France and low river levels force nuclear curtailment and Rhine freight limits, echoing 2022.Want to see how weather is moving European power and gas prices right now?

Organisations face unprecedented levels of challenge. New technologies, economic and geopolitical instability and more create complexity on a scale most organisations are ill-equipped to address. Confusion reigns and most people at work struggle to know what to address first. But how much of our current work turmoil is compounded by out-of-date working practices and processes? How much day-to-day work activity no longer delivers value? Colleagues are endlessly busy but are they doing work that matters? This episode, Chris Lovett introduces the concept of workplace minimalism. His latest book Relentless is an elegy for simplifying work so that people can deliver better outcomes. For harried internal communicators, this is an episode not to be missed.   About Chris Lovett Chris Lovett is an executive coach, TEDx speaker, and the author of two books about the power of less. His TEDx talk, 'Less Busy More Impact', and his bestselling first book Discovery of Less established him as one of the UK's most distinctive voices on sustainable work and living with less. His second book, Relentless: The Power of Doing Less in a Workplace that Demands More, brings that same philosophy into the workplace, helping the busiest of people manage their time, prevent burnout and navigate the chaos of modern work. Over the last ten years Chris has coached c-suite teams and senior leaders in FTSE100 companies spanning Europe, APAC and the US, as well as clients in the legal, retail and insurance industries. His work has been featured in The Times, The Independent, CEO Magazine, Marie Claire and HR Magazine, and he has appeared on dozens of podcasts including Leaders in Finance, Truth Lies and Work, and The Self Care Club.

The rise of single-stock ETFs, especially CSOP's 2x leveraged SK Hynix ETF listed in Hong Kong, is reshaping market dynamics. The daily rebalancing of these massive funds is contributing to higher volatility in equity markets, creating new challenges for investors. At the same time, high concentration risk and narrow market leadership are fundamentally changing how investors think about hedging. In this special episode, featuring an excerpt recorded at the Singapore Volatility Forum on June 3, Oliver Chan, portfolio manager at Capula Investment Management; Stephane Martin, APAC head of derivatives institutional sales at Optiver; and Ivan Nurminsky, portfolio manager at Dymon, join Bloomberg News' Lianting Tu to discuss the hidden risks and opportunities in today's derivatives markets, including the surging popularity of the dispersion trade.

Two thirds of industrial energy demand is heat, not electricity, and most of it still runs on gas. Thermal storage converts cheap electricity into heat, stores it in concrete, and dispatches it when the factory needs it, undercutting the gas bill even though gas is cheaper per unit on average. Alex Robertson, CEO of ENERGYNEST, joins Ed Porter to explain how a thermal battery works, why it competes with lithium-ion on cost, and why grid connections - not the technology - are the real constraint on industrial decarbonisation.They cover:- Why thermal storage functions like a battery on the energy markets but stores heat one-way in optimised concrete.- The medium-temperature "frying, drying and applying" range (roughly 150 to 300C) that sits above heat pumps and below cement and steel.- How decoupling thermal demand from the electricity price typically can cut the gas bill by around 50%.- Why a 20-foot-container module stores about two megawatt hours, stacks three high, and loses only around 2% of capacity per day.- Why a flexible, interruptible asset is exactly what congested grids need - and why Germany still lacks the flexible connection framework the Netherlands is rolling out.Ask Ko, Modo Energy's AI analyst, any question from this conversation: https://modoenergy.com/sign-up?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast_apps&utm_campaign=Alex Robertson&utm_content=ko_signupRead the companion article: https://modoenergy.com/transmission-podcast/80ce6824-59a1-495b-9e94-0a38bdb9572e?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast_apps&utm_campaign=Alex Robertson&utm_content=article_pageModo Energy's solar and battery forecasts are live at modo.energy.You can watch or listen to new episodes every Tuesday.

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-111-btb-x-woo-conference-part-2 Recorded live at the WOO Congress 2026 in London just a fortnight ago, this is the second of our special Behind the Billboard episodes - and this time we're on the Global OOH, Innovation & Creativity track. Hugh and Dan….. Well…. Mainly Dan as Hugh had run away to catch a train…. grab short, sharp conversations with a stellar line-up of out-of-home leaders from around the world: Elizabeth McIntyre, CEO of OMA Australia; Ben Milne, CEO APAC at Billups; Nick Bell, UK MD at Billups; Jaime Byrdak, CEO North America at Billups; Jay Young, MD of Grand Visual; Sarah Parkes, Managing Partner, International at Talon; Danielle Austin of Evolve OOH; James Harrison from MPN part of Dubai Holdings; and Simon Wall, CEO of Glynt Group in South Africa. Phew… what a list… what a monster session. Across the episode we explore where OOH is heading now: smarter creative, better data, creative mapping, AI, sustainable infrastructure, mobile media, and the enduring power of a brilliantly simple poster in the right place. There are stories behind work for Google Maps, RNLI's Float To Live, Nike Running and the NYC Marathon, Selleys, Jolt, Out There, Ad Free Zones, IFS.ai and Tractor Media's school-powering billboards. It's a fast-moving global tour of the medium we love: from Australia to Dubai, South Africa to North America, and back to the streets of London. Along the way, our guests pick their favourite billboards, share what excites them about the future, and remind us that when out-of-home is at its best, it's public, useful, unmissable and impossible to ignore. In true Behind the Billboard style, there are a few rabbit holes, plenty of billboard nerdery, and a healthy amount of love for the people pushing the medium forward. Thanks to WOO for having us, to all our brilliant guests for giving up their time in the middle of congress chaos, and to everyone who still believes the humble billboard has plenty of magic left in it. Thanks again to our usual suspects and supporters, and for this one especially the team at WOO.

The pressure on treasury is no longer simply to manage liquidity and risk, but to help the business respond faster and smarter.  Olivier Anceau and Baris Kalay (Bank of America) explore how, particularly in APAC, volatility, fragmentation and cross-border complexity are pushing treasury beyond execution, towards providing earlier visibility, more accurate forecasting and clearer, decision-ready options. From local currency settlement that helps manage FX risk to payments decisions that shape working capital and customer experience, treasury's fundamentals are becoming more consequential across the business.

Is Your Portfolio Missing Out? The Green Bond Boom ExplainedQuestion:How have green bonds evolved, what risks and opportunities do they present for investors, and what are the biggest misconceptions about this asset class?Answer:Green bonds have grown into a US $2 trillion global market, with Europe leading but APAC and emerging markets catching up. According to Johann Ple, senior portfolio manager at BNP Paribas Asset Management, green bonds now offer broad sector diversification and transparency, making them a credible alternative to conventional bonds. Risks are similar to traditional bonds (interest rates, credit spreads), but greenwashing and sector concentration require careful due diligence. Misconceptions about lower returns (“greenium”) are fading, and green bonds are increasingly viable for all investors, not just those focused on sustainability. Australian super funds and institutional investors can now build custom strategies, aligning portfolios with net zero ambitions without sacrificing performance.Why it matters:For investors, green bonds represent a way to combine positive environmental impact with competitive returns and transparency. The asset class is mature enough for custom strategies, with over 800 issuers and broad sector representation. Understanding the risks and debunking myths is crucial for informed allocation, especially as demand grows in Australia and globally.Sources:• Johann Ple, senior portfolio manager, BNP Paribas Asset Management• Michelle Baltazar, executive director of media, FS Sustainability• Responsible Investing Association Australia• EU Green Bond Standards, APAC market dataTimestamps:00:00 US as a missed opportunity for green bonds02:07 Market size: $2 trillion, Europe dominates, APAC and emerging markets rising03:50 Sector diversification: utilities, banks, real estate, transport, telecom06:54 Risks: conventional bond risks, greenwashing, sector concentration09:00 Greenwashing: issuer and project due diligence11:25 Australia's role: investor and issuer, custom strategies for super funds13:03 Misconceptions: returns, “greenium”, ESG backlash16:54 Growth drivers: APAC, emerging markets, not just EuropeWe record on Gadigal land and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of country and elders past and present.https://www.fssustainability.com.au/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Something has changed at the board level. Recorded in the media room at Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, Ian Schenkel, VP Sales, EMEA & APAC of Intel 471, describes directors who no longer take security on faith. After a year of headline breaches from Jaguar Land Rover to Marks and Spencer and the Co-op, leadership wants proof rather than promises. What does the board actually want to know? A straight answer to one question: are we okay? Ian Schenkel starts with geopolitics. Nation-state activity, supply chain exposure, and shifting global markets all shape whether a business can keep running. Threat intelligence becomes the early warning system leaders use to decide where to move and which actors have a history of targeting their industry. The next question gets personal. Does this affect us? Have we already been hit? This is where Intel 471 leans on retroactive threat detection. When new indicators of compromise surface, an analyst can build detection queries in seconds against a SIEM, SOAR tool, SentinelOne, Microsoft, or Palo Alto, then report back to the board with a clear answer. How does intelligence reach the board without getting lost in the weeds? It travels as a story the board can act on. Intel 471 pulls its three core areas, cyber threat intelligence, attack surface management, and threat hunting, into a single report that scales from an executive summary to a detailed account of what was found and neutralized. The stories make it real. During merger rumors, an attacker registered a look-alike domain and emailed employees from it. In another case, Intel 471 warned an organization it did not yet work with about a politically motivated actor that was openly discussing it. The value is the early signal, long before perimeter and endpoint defenses ever engage. Sometimes the right move is not technical at all. It might be briefing executives on targeted ransomware or reminding employees to stay alert against the email that has not arrived yet. The throughline, as Ian Schenkel frames it, is prevention over reaction, and a board finally asking the right questions. This is a Brand Spotlight.

At Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, Matt Ellison, Director of Sales Engineering EMEA & APAC at Corelight, joins Sean Martin to unpack the visibility gap widening across security operations. The SOC is either drowning in data or missing the data that matters most. Corelight, custodian of the open-source Zeek project, builds a platform that turns raw network traffic into evidence teams can actually use. Why do today's most evasive attacks slip past endpoint detection? Because they are designed to. Ellison points to typhoon-style campaigns staged from network and hardware devices specifically to avoid EDR. When a platform sees all of the network traffic moving backwards and forwards, those moves stop being invisible. Seeing more is only half the battle. Ellison describes teams trapped by a fear of missing something, switching on every "just in case" detection until alert volume becomes its own crisis. The real question shifts from "what fired" to "what does this actually mean for my environment." How do you investigate a detection you cannot see inside? A black box hands down a verdict with no evidence behind it. Corelight takes an open approach, exposing the data behind every conclusion so analysts can follow a flow to its root cause and apply the one thing no vendor ships: their own knowledge of the network. The proof tends to show up fast. Ellison recalls a proof of value where, within thirty minutes, the team surfaced sensitive information moving unencrypted across the network. Other finds are smaller but telling, like a finance team's certificate using a weak cipher. Corelight even names its catch-all logs plainly, the "weird" log and the "unknown" log. Visibility feeds compliance too. Frameworks like NIS2, DORA, and GDPR demand evidence, not a tool humming in the corner that no one reviews. Ellison previews a coming release that adds asset classification, identifying every device on the network and explaining the why behind it. This is a Brand Spotlight.

Ramon Perez, Executive Director of the Digital Democracy Project, joins Brian Nichols to reveal how mobile voting software is putting Congress directly into voters' pockets - and why Governor Ron DeSantis line-item vetoed the Florida bill that would have made it official state policy. Inside, Ramon breaks down the verified voter scorecards that have lawmakers running scared, the blockchain technology borrowed from Voatz-style military overseas voting, and the brutal statistic nobody talks about... 94% of Americans live in gerrymandered congressional districts where the general election barely moves the needle. We expose the real reason DeSantis killed an appropriation that had bipartisan support across the entire Florida legislature. Spoiler... it has nothing to do with small government. Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of how blockchain-verified mobile voting actually works, why APAC handlers and teachers unions own your representatives while parents and small business owners get ignored, and the contrarian frame that proves the MAGA movement is economically left wing and culturally right wing. Most Americans have mentally checked out of politics. And honestly? They're not crazy. If 80% of voters live in a state controlled entirely by one party, what does your vote actually do between elections? Nothing. So what happens when 24,000 verified voters start grading their legislators in real time on 800+ bills... and the politicians realize they can't hide anymore?

Thanks To Our Sponsor Kalshi: http://kalshi.com/r/IMPACT Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, coming to you live from London! In this episode, Tom and Drew dive into a whirlwind of urgent headlines and provocative issues facing the world today. From explosive allegations of insider trading against President Trump—with a staggering 3,700 stock trades in the first quarter of 2026 alone—to the ongoing controversy around politicians trading stocks, Tom does not hold back on why this is a dangerous conflict of interest threatening democracy. The episode also explores the escalating political battle in Kentucky, where APAC-backed super PACs are pouring unprecedented levels of funding to unseat Congressman Massie, igniting fresh debates about the corrosive role of money in politics. Tom and Drew break down the surge of government fraud investigations, the challenging realities of fraud in both red and blue states, and dissect the latest tech stories—including the wild results of AI agents left unsupervised in virtual simulations. Across the pond, the duo reflects on attending a massive—and contentious—Tommy Robinson rally in London, offering on-the-ground insights into the simmering immigration debate and cultural clashes reshaping the UK and the West. Plus: tinfoil-hat-worthy discussion on the rise of tick-borne meat allergies and whether elite meddling is behind it all. With robust debates, sharp analysis, and live audience questions, this episode promises to challenge assumptions and pull back the curtain on the powerful interests shaping our world right now.
