Cyber security, no longer a place for tech heads, speaking another language
Join us at Girls Talk Cyber, the podcast to help you decode this space and redefine how you act online
Have you heard of the ACSC? It's Australia's national cyber agency dedicated to defending and disrupting against cyber crime and helping to build resilience against cyber threats. In this episode we’re lucky enough to sit down with Stephanie Crowe, the Deputy Director General and Head of the ACSC who is running this show, and ask her about the capabilities built by the organisation to help protect Australia and its communities. We also ask Steph to unpack her latest joint statement with Five Eyes countries on AI, hear about her journey to where she is today and get some personal cyber tips from Steph herself.
We hope you enjoy this episode! Links mentioned below:
