What roles are available in the cyber security industry? What qualities do employers look for? Currently, there is a shortage of skilled cyber security workers around the world. In Australia, the pipeline needs to continue to expand to meet the sector's – and the economy's – growth needs. The workforce is estimated to increase to 33,500 by 2024, with around 7,000 workers requiring training over the next four years.In episode ten of ‘OzCyber Unlocked', AustCyber's CEO Michelle Price speaks to Paul Nevin (Co-founder and CTO of Cybermerc), Timothy McKay (Founder and CEO of OK RDY), Matthew Jorgensen (Project Manager at the ACS) and Will Markow (Managing Director at Burning Glass Technologies) about their career journeys, pathways into the sector and how to take advantage of opportunities such as mentoring and certification. This month, our ‘cyber spotlight' features Susie Barber and Rebecca Vivian from the University of Adelaide.

Geeks on Screens with Coffee Episode 44 - Rock Lobster Look who I bumped into at the water cooler/tea room/corridor? It's only Rob Farley ( @rob_farley ) Not sure what we will talk about, but it might include lobsters... Bio: Rob Farley is not your average speaker. Sure, he's an MCM, MCT, and MVP (since 2006). Sure, he runs a Gold Partner consultancy (LobsterPot Solutions in Australia) with two other Data Platform MVPs on the team. Sure he's written books and heads up the Adelaide SQL Server User Group. Sure, he's spent time on the PASS board and on the Australian Computer Society executive. But when Rob gives presentations he does so without slides - just demos - and challenges how you think about data. You can read some of Rob's work at sqlblog.com, or at sqlperformance.com, or catch him on Twitter at @rob_farley. I must dash, the kettle has almost boiled. Love you!

All the progress and innovation rely on at least some level of appropriation. Because innovation happens when two or more unrelated ideas collide and something new is created.But, innovation demands both the quality as well as quantity of collisions.Quality is driven by knowledge, diversity, intelligence, inclusion, entrepreneurship, type of stimuli, and appropriate criticism level. Quantity, on the other hand, is all about frequency and volume.So, when there more people in a physical space, more interactions happen. If you spend more time communicating, there is more stimulus and more collisions. Although physical office space is an excellent way to increase collisions' frequency and quality, it is not the only way.To discuss innovation, transformation, and the future of work this week, we have Robert Hillard as our guest. We talk about:Virtual office practice at Deloitte.Some of the challenges in virtual working environments.What does human-centered design mean?How does a virtual working environment affect the innovation quotient?Ideas around "collision innovation."What would and should change in innovation space post-pandemic?How are SMEs adapting to the future of work? What are some challenges and solutions?Robert is widely recognized as a leading thinker concerning the information economy. His many years of experience as an innovator and leader in consulting in Australia and overseas have seen him play a leading role in the technology profession with a particular focus on information.Robert has held many eminent roles, including leading Deloitte Consulting in Australia, serving on Deloitte's global board (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited), serving as Chair of the Australian Information Industry Association, and being appointed to the Digital Expert Advisory Committee advising Prime Minister & Cabinet in Australia.He has been involved in many public forums and presentations related to the information economy. He has written extensively, including:– Authoring Information-Driven Business (Wiley 2010), and– Co-authoring Information Development using MIKE2.0 (Motion 2013).Robert's contributions to the Australian technology industry were recognized in late 2014 with his admission as a Fellow of the Australian Computer Society.About the Podcast:ICT Podcast all about innovation, communication, and technology – a few key areas that are super important in today's world. If you want to know what it takes to be a better innovator, better communicator, and leverage technology to make this world a better place, please subscribe.

One thing is certain though - billions of dollars of investment is now being made by those who believe in a blockchain blockbuster future.

We speak to Alex Gruszka, COO at StartupAus, and Yohan Ramasundara, President of the Australian Computer Society, immediately after the release of the 2019 Federal Budget to explore their first impressions of what the budget means for the Australian tech sector.

Cybersecurity risks increase with the amount of outsourcing a company does. Dave Hunt/AAPThe first thing business gets wrong in understanding cybersecurity is assessing the value of the information it holds. Businesses need to know the information they are trying to protect. Is it information about the business that would be shared via marketing? Information that is commercial in confidence? Or does it have a high security risk, such as defence information, intellectual property for a new drug or customer’s financial information? It’s important to know the difference, says Craig Horne, chairman of the Australian Computer Society in Victoria, who is also completing his PhD in information security strategy in organisations. Another aspect to cybersecurity is having the right people, hardware and software to manage risks. Companies could be doing better by sharing information on known threats and employing people with real world skills, rather than just “STEM” (science, technology, engineering and maths) graduates, to tackle future risks.
