This week on the Cyber Uncut podcast, Cyber Daily deputy editor David Hollingworth speaks with Emile Barakat, the head of cyber security firm ThreatLocker's operations in the Asia-Pacific region. ThreatLocker – and its boss, Danny Jenkins – is a big fan of Australia's Essential Eight cyber security standard, but what really makes that tick, and why is it so important? The pair discuss just why it's one of the gold standards of cyber protection and why other countries should take note. Then it's time to consider this year's budget and the role of government in securing businesses, economies, and consumers in a world of growing cyber threats. Finally, Hollingworth and Barakat get to grips with the local threat landscape and the human challenges of cyber security. \"Typically, an organisation will run security awareness training every quarter. Some will do it less frequently, unfortunately,\" Barakat says. \"Even with that training, you'll see compromises and, at times, the same employees make the same mistakes.\" Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team","meta_description":"ThreatLocker's APAC director of operations, Emile Barakat, joins Cyber Daily's David Hollingworth to discuss what makes the Essential Eight so essential,…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1246,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/cyber-uncut-4228439/episodes/threatlocker-s-emile-barakat-talks-essential-eight-cyber-policy-and-security-as-a-human-challenge/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cyber-uncut-4228439/threatlocker-s-emile-barakat-talks-essential-eight-cyber-policy-and-security-as-a-human-challenge.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
