Podcasts about Optus

In this episode of The Cyber Revolution Podcast, host Adam Hewitt chats with alumni student Doug Hyde, who successfully transitioned from a decade-long engineering career into a cybersecurity role in the aerospace industry. Doug shares how being impacted by the Optus data breach sparked his passion for cyber, how he managed his studies while traveling for work, and how leveraging his existing engineering experience gave him an edge during job interviews.Whether you are feeling flat in your current career or doubting whether your non-tech background has value, Doug offers practical advice on daily study habits, researching the field, and highlighting transferable skills. Tune in to hear how you can build a rewarding new career in cybersecurity without starting from zero.Key Takeaways:1. Your existing career is an asset, not a handicap: Employers value your past professional experience, communication, and problem-solving skills just as much as entry-level technical knowledge. Focus on what you bring to the table rather than what you lack.2. Cybersecurity exists in every industry: You don't have to work at a traditional IT firm. Industries like aerospace, defense, healthcare, and manufacturing urgently need cybersecurity talent.3. Personal triggers can ignite a new path: Being impacted by major events (like the Optus or Medibank data breaches) can turn curiosity about cyber into a rewarding long-term career.4. Consistency overrides busy schedules: Building a regular, incremental study habit—even while working full-time or traveling—is key to working through certifications and landing your first role.5. Practical labs and career support accelerate the shift: Combining hands-on practice with structured career coaching builds the confidence needed to succeed in interviews.Chapters:[0:35] Welcome to Cyber Revolution[1:35] Leaving Engineering After 10 Years[4:34] How Optus Sparked Cyber Interest[6:34] Changes in Australian Cyber Policy[8:34] Landing an Aerospace Cyber Role[11:34] Leveraging Your Transferable Skills[17:11] Cyber Revolution Mentor Support[21:11] Top Tips for Career ChangersConnect with Adam:Website: https://cyberrevolution.com.auFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cyberrevolutionausSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@cyberrevolutionausFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cyberrevolution_aus/

In this week's podcast, Cyber Daily's Daniel Croft and David Hollingworth argue for sovereign Australian AI, catch up with the Origin Energy data breach, uncover a Court Services Victoria hack, and ponder the efficacy of taking a foreign chat platform to court over terror content. Should Aussie banks have access to Australian Taxation Office data to stop fraud? That's how the podcast kicks off, alongside the revelation that fraudsters are using AI to fake documents to secure massive bank loans. For Hollingworth and Croft, the answer is a resounding yes, which is also the case when it comes to sovereign AI capability, as Australian company Maincode brings its own coding agent online. This week, Origin Energy revealed the extent of its recent data breach, while Court Services Victoria disclosed it had fallen victim to prolific hacker 2019. It's been a torrid time for data security in Australia, with even an insider threat rearing its head in a data breach at NSW Health. Finally, the pair discuss whether or not eSafety can effectively sue chat platform Telegram over pro-terror content, while the Australian Communications and Media Authority said it is suing Optus over its Triple Zero failures last year. Just another week in cyber security. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team

What if faster coding is actually slowing your software delivery down? Most teams are pouring AI into the coding phase, but the real bottleneck is everywhere else.In this episode, Andrew Haschka, Field CTO at GitLab for Asia Pacific and Japan, explains why most AI strategies in software engineering are failing and what it takes to fix them. He introduces the AI paradox: teams invest heavily in AI-assisted coding, yet coding accounts for less than 20% of the software delivery lifecycle, leaving the biggest bottlenecks untouched.Andrew makes the case for intelligent orchestration — moving from isolated AI interactions to governed, end-to-end agentic flows that span planning, coding, testing, security, compliance, and release. He shares how a unified system of record forms the foundation for high-quality AI outcomes, and why fragmented tools and siloed context actively limit what AI can deliver. Drawing on real customer examples — including Ericsson's 50% faster deployments and 130,000 hours saved in six months — he shows what a holistic approach actually looks like in practice.The conversation also covers how tech leads, developers, and junior engineers need to evolve their skills in a world where AI handles routine implementation. Andrew closes with a compelling argument: in the agentic era, governance isn't just a compliance burden, it's the primary source of competitive advantage.Timestamps:(02:30) What Are the Key Responsibilities of a Field CTO at GitLab?(03:26) Why Should Organizations Govern AI Strategy Rather Than Chase the Latest Features?(06:41) Why Is an End-to-End Agentic Flow More Valuable Than Individual AI Tools?(09:39) What Is the AI Paradox and How Does Intelligent Orchestration Solve It?(14:47) How Does Shifting Focus to Requirements Quality Transform Software Delivery Outcomes?(18:19) How Has GitLab Evolved Beyond CI/CD Into a Full End-to-End Delivery Platform?(20:20) What Should Software Teams Prioritize Beyond Coding in the AI Era?(24:14) How Do Organizational Silos Create a Capability Threshold for AI Adoption?(27:49) What Practical Strategies Can Organizations Use to Break Down Internal Silos?(30:58) How Did Ericsson Achieve 50% Faster Deployments and Save 130,000 Hours With GitLab?(33:07) How Should Software Developers Evolve in the Age of AI Agents?(36:26) How Is the Tech Lead Role Evolving in a Hybrid Human-AI Team?(39:22) How Can Junior Developers Keep Up With the Rapid Shift in Industry Expectations?(42:40) Why Do 79% of Singapore DevSecOps Practitioners Believe AI Will Create More Jobs?(45:27) Why Are Companies Reducing Staff Despite the Growing Demand for Software?(48:34) What Are the Most Common Pitfalls When Implementing Agentic Workflows?(52:29) What Practical Steps Should Engineering Leaders Take to Govern AI Responsibly?(55:13) Why Should Engineering Leaders Build an AI Strategy Before Choosing Technology?(57:15) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Andrew Haschka's BioAndrew Haschka serves as Field CTO for Asia Pacific & Japan at GitLab, where he acts as a trusted strategic advisor to enterprise customers and partners navigating complex technology transformation.
