In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, host Liam Garman, editor of Cyber Daily, is joined by Kostas Siourthas, founder and CEO of TomorrowX; Rob Parker, partner at Deloitte; and cyber security leader Dr Marcus Thompson for an in-depth discussion on the future of data protection and innovation in the digital age. The episode was recorded at Deloitte's Sydney headquarters, where the panel explored how TomorrowX is reimagining cyber security by focusing on the movement and protection of data – rather than traditional infrastructure or application-centric models. Siourthas unpacked how Tomorrow X's data-centric platform enables organisations to apply security policies at the packet level and even add multifactor authentication to legacy systems – a task that was previously resource-heavy and complex. Parker elaborates on the limitations of conventional network security in today's encrypted world, and how TomorrowX's composable, low-code architecture empowers business analysts to better manage data flows without relying on developers – reducing deployment timelines from months to weeks. Thompson shares real-world context around legacy system risk, referencing the recent superannuation credential stuffing attacks, and outlines how TomorrowX provides a cost-effective pathway to modernise outdated systems without full replacement. Finally, the trio reflect on what's next for cyber security, why edge-case vulnerabilities remain one of the industry's biggest risks, and why now is the time for proactive, data-first strategies.

Financial institutions are losing an average of $100 million annually due to a fundamental disconnect between fintech innovation and traditional financial systems. A phenomenon FIS and Oxford Economics have termed the "Harmony Gap." "We hear a lot from people about the challenges and friction they see in the money lifecycle," explains FIS CTO, Firdaus Bhathena, at his firm's Emerald Conference at the end of May in Orlando, Florida.. "But we had not been able to quantify that." His firm's collaboration with Oxford Economics is changing that, providing hard data on what many suspected but couldn't measure. The new research, based on surveys of 1,000 executives across the US, UK, and Singapore, reveals that disharmony in the financial system is a costly reality affecting everything from cybersecurity to operational efficiency. As Margaux McLoughlin of Oxford Economics puts it, "When there are disruptions across the money lifecycle, that's what we call disharmony." Understanding what the research describes as a Harmony Gap requires examining how the modern financial ecosystem operates, why the human cost extends far beyond corporate losses, and what organizations can do to bridge the disconnect between innovation and implementation. The path forward requires a rethinking of how financial institutions approach systemic challenges in an interconnected world.

Transforming How We Work: Rethinking Operating Models with Jen from Talk Point Advisory Group In this thought-provoking conversation, I sat down with Jen from Talk Point Advisory Group, a boutique consulting firm that helps organizations reimagine and revitalize how they operate. We dove deep into the often-overlooked world of operating models — the blueprint behind how work gets done — and why companies need to stop letting these frameworks evolve by default. Rethinking How Work Gets Done Jen and I explored how an organization's operating model influences everything from decision-making to resource allocation. She shared powerful insights about making these models more intentional, especially when “invisible rules” — embodied by figures like the mythical “Beth” who holds power without a title — shape how teams function. I emphasized that when organizations fail to design and adapt their operating models, they often become the next cautionary tale — a statistic in the high failure rate of businesses unable to pivot in a changing market. Legacy Systems vs. the Digital Future Too often, companies bring in top talent with high hopes but then box them into outdated systems. Jen and I discussed how legacy organizations must shift from rigid, project-based structures to nimble, product-focused approaches. This isn't just about upgrading systems — it's about transforming culture, developing new skill sets, and staying laser-focused on customer experience. Because in this fast-moving digital age, survival depends on relevance. Breaking Down Silos: A Lesson from 3M We've all seen the damage siloed thinking can do. I shared how industrial-age approaches, like those once used by GM, keep innovation locked behind walls. Jen illustrated how companies like 3M broke free — giving employees space to experiment, leading to inventions like the Post-it Note. This isn't just a story about sticky paper; it's a testament to the power of cross-functional freedom and creative autonomy. Collaboration That Fuels Innovation Jen highlighted the power of horizontal collaboration in successful product teams. Drawing inspiration from NASA's Apollo 13 mission and our everyday digital tools, she emphasized how solutions to complex problems emerge when different disciplines truly work together — not in silos, but side-by-side. The Overlooked Power of Marketing In one of my favorite moments, I admitted I wish I had focused more on marketing in college — it's that essential. Jen and I talked about why marketing isn't just a department, it's a growth engine. When accounting and marketing speak the same language, businesses gain the insight to fuel smart investments and sustainable expansion — especially during challenging times like inflation or global uncertainty. Culture Drives Everything Culture isn't just a buzzword — it's the soul of your organization. I reflected on transforming a healthcare organization by simply listening and responding to what our people needed. Jen and I agreed: when organizations clarify decision-making and empower their teams, magic happens. Engagement rises, turnover drops, and performance soars. Fixing the Customer Experience (for Real) Improving customer experience isn't a quick fix — it requires rooting out the hidden obstacles: tech inefficiencies, outdated processes, and — you guessed it — silos. Jen walked us through how her team helps organizations simplify, streamline, and finally push past the 75% “stuck” point where so many give up. We wrapped up by underscoring the need for persistent effort and aligned support, and I encouraged our listeners to connect with Jen and the team at Talk Point Advisory Group for guidance. Ready to Rethink Your Operating Model? If you're ready to stop leaving your organization's performance to chance, this episode is a must-listen.

How do businesses untangle years of legacy technology without risking everything they have built? Today on Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Jacek Migdał, founder and CEO of Quesma, to explore this question and discover how his company offers a fresh and pragmatic approach to database migration and optimization. Jacek shared the story behind Quesma's creation, shaped by his early exposure to databases through his father's work and his own experiences in Silicon Valley. Through extensive research, he identified a widespread frustration among businesses trying to modernize their legacy systems, often facing high costs, licensing nightmares, and failed migrations. Rather than tearing everything down and starting from scratch, Quesma offers a database gateway that acts as a middle layer, allowing gradual migrations with far less risk. I learn more about how this technology enables companies to test new systems alongside their old ones, helping to avoid the costly mistakes that have historically derailed so many modernization projects. We discussed how Quesma is addressing complex challenges across industries like telecom and travel. Their solution is already providing companies with ten times faster performance while significantly lowering operational costs, all without forcing disruptive system changes. Jacek also gave a sneak peek into two exciting new products launching soon. SQL extensions with pipe syntax will enrich data directly inside databases, while a feature called "smart charts" will offer AI-powered visualizations for faster, clearer insights. What makes Quesma truly stand out is its unapologetically pragmatic approach. Rather than assuming a clean, cloud-native environment, Quesma embraces most businesses' messy realities.

"I found the overall feel of the recording, especially the regular chirping of the crickets, to be very relaxing, and this led me into thinking that I needed to produce something calming and meditative. "I wanted to keep the field recording running throughout, but after a few trial runs I felt that I needed more room to play with, so extended the recording by replicating a section from the middle and seamlessly blending the joins. "The synth of choice for this was the Audrey 2; it uses feedback synthesis to produce wailing screeches reminiscent of howling guitars, but which with practice can also be nurtured into organic drones that can take on the form of low level choral chanting. I ran the primary stereo output of the Audrey back into an additional audio track, but pitch-shifted down 2 octaves in order to provide a low-level bass track and thus adding some warmth to the overall texture.

With decades of experience securing critical infrastructure and navigating the complexities of Operational Technology (OT) environments, Jason offers actionable insights into the current state and future of cybersecurity in industrial sectors like manufacturing, energy, and water treatment.The discussion begins with an overview of what makes ICS cybersecurity distinct from traditional IT security. Jason explains how OT systems prioritize availability and safety, presenting unique challenges compared to the confidentiality-driven focus of IT. The conversation highlights key vulnerabilities in ICS environments, such as legacy systems that lack modern security features, poorly designed protocols without encryption, and the risks posed by IT/OT convergence.Jason dives into common attack vectors, including social engineering (phishing), lateral movement from IT to OT networks, and physical access breaches. He explores real-world case studies like the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, the Oldsmar water treatment plant hack, and the Stuxnet worm, illustrating how these vulnerabilities have been exploited and the lessons they offer for building stronger defenses.The video also emphasizes the critical role of compliance and standards, such as ISA/IEC 62443, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and CIS Controls. Jason underscores the difference between compliance and real security, advocating for a "security first, compliance second" philosophy to ensure that organizations focus on mitigating actual risks rather than merely checking regulatory boxes.As the conversation unfolds, Jason discusses the role of vendors and OEMs in securing ICS environments, detailing how Inductive Automation uses proactive measures like Pwn2Own competitions, bug bounty programs, and detailed security hardening guides to improve the security of their products. He highlights the importance of collaboration between vendors and customers to address challenges like long equipment lifecycles and the growing adoption of cloud services.Emerging technologies also take center stage, with Jason exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming threat detection and response, while also enabling more sophisticated attacks like personalized phishing and adaptive malware. He addresses the implications of IT/OT convergence, emphasizing the need for collaboration between traditionally siloed teams and the importance of building shared security frameworks.For organizations looking to strengthen their cybersecurity posture, Jason offers practical steps, starting with foundational measures like asset management and configuration baselines.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not use any legacy IT, having either decommissioned or modernized all of its systems, according to the independent agency's chief information officer. In an interview with FedScoop last week, NRC CIO Scott Flanders said that even though the agency has turned the page on systems defined by the Government Accountability Office as “outdated or obsolete,” there is still work to be done for modernization and evaluation of the agency's technology stack. One of the country's leading generative AI startups is urging congressional leadership to take action on a trio of safety, data and definitional priorities for the emerging technology before the end of the year. In a letter sent Thursday from Alexandr Wang to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., the Scale AI founder and chief executive officer applauded the lawmakers for bipartisan AI regulatory work this Congress while “strongly” pressing the quartet to include in a potential year-end legislative package three “key AI priorities that will better position the United States to become a global leader in AI development and deployment.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.
