- The pair begin the podcast unpacking how cyber security is critical for defending defence supply chains and protecting the equipment used by Australia’s soldiers, sailors, and aviators.
- MacGibbon and Kuper then discuss how threat actors always target the most vulnerable parts of the supply chain, usually smaller subcontractors, before examining some trends in cyber security.
- The podcast wraps up with a discussion into the role of cyber security in AUKUS Pillars I and II, and how it is essential for Australian organisations to enhance their cyber security standards as we become the custodians of nuclear technology.
