With this year’s Data Breach Investigation Report 2020 revealing almost double the number of breaches from the previous year, we look at the findings through an Australian lens. In episode 4 of The age of trust series, Securing the Heartbeat of Knowledge – Data,  InnovationAus publisher Corrie McLeod asks The Australian Federal Police’s cybercrime operation commander, Commander Chris Goldsmid, and operations director of Verizon, Prescott Pym; What are the main trends? What are the challenges for industries? What are organisations doing well? What are the weak points? With data becoming even more important for the 4th industrial revolution, will cyber espionage become an even greater risk in future?

As businesses head back to the drawing board to redesign their post-COVID19 strategies, there is a new opportunity to invest in the redesign of core competencies that will rebuild Australia’s global competitiveness. In episode 3 of The age of trust series CEO of METS Ignited (Mining Equipment, Technology and Services), Adrian Beer, and head of solution architects for Verizon, Tony Harb, talk to InnovationAus publisher Corrie McLeod on how enterprises will use new 5G driven services to optimise the supply chain while building resilience and will this impact cyber challenges for an IoT device-driven world? What's the role of IoT? How will smart companies be taking core competencies and supercharging them with technologies?

COVID-19 has highlighted Australia’s reliance on long and complex supply chains and there is pressure to both shorten and diversify them. In episode 2 of The age of trust series, Protecting the Internet of Things, the CEO of IoT Alliance Australia, Frank Zeichner, and Verizon senior technologist, Andy Lamrock, talk to InnovationAus publisher Corrie McLeod, on how Australian businesses can diversify supply chains and also use technology to ensure that the economies of doing so make commercial sense. How transformation will coincide with the roll out and adoption of 5G and IoT which will have huge potential to rethink how industry balances volume, technology, and commercial imperatives. And as IoT techniques and technologies move into Australian business and government what are the cyber security challenges posed and how you can protect yourself and your business?
