Summary

Bank-grade cybersecurity is considered the gold standard of cyber best practice, but what does it look like in reality, and what can other organisations learn from it? Valeska and co-host Isabelle Guyot are joined by Martijn Verbree, Chief Information Risk Officer at The Commonwealth Bank. Martijn shares his approach to balancing innovation with security, staying ahead of the curve in a constantly evolving threat environment, and managing cyber risk at Australia's largest bank. He also shares practical insights on working with boards, the importance of multi-layered security testing, and the risks and opportunities posed by AI. If you've ever wondered what's keeping our protectors up at night, this conversation is for you. Resources from this episode: Martijn's podcast recommendation: Risky Business
