NC State had always been a leader in developing code for analyzing agricultural data. It was a natural fit to house the project at the university’s Cox Hall because the mainframe there could process enormous amounts of data.The resulting program – the Statistical Analysis System – gave SAS both the basis for its name and its corporate beginnings.Since then, SAS has grown to become one of the largest privately held software companies in the world.MySecurity Media were media partners to the WPS 2025. #Worldpolicesummit #wps2025 #mysecuritytv

Welcome to the Indo-Pacific State of Cyber Series with ISACA and sponsored by Vanta. We present the third session with the State of Trust – Critical to the success of every businessSpeakersJamie Norton - ISACA Board Member Jason Wood - Auckland Chapter former President Reshma Devi - Melbourne Chapter Board Member Evan Rowse – Vanta A copy of the VANTA report is available here https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/vantaA copy of the ISACA report - State of Digital Trust 2024 is available here https://www.isaca.org/resources/reports/state-of-digital-trust-2024Trust is critical to the success of every business. But building, scaling and demonstrating trust is getting harder for Australian organisations. To meet customer expectations, security leaders and their teams must address complex threats, a growing compliance burden, and increasing risk from their third-party vendor footprint. The rapid adoption of AI technologies only adds to the challenge, requiring more oversight and governance.Vanta’s second annual State of Trust Report uncovers key trends across these areas of security, compliance and the future of trust. Based on a survey of 2,500 IT and business leaders (with 500 of the respondents from Australia), our research found that more than half (58%) of Australian organisations say that security risks for their business have never been higher.More than 5,800 digital trust professionals shared their insights for ISACA’s State of Digital Trust research and give their perspectives on:The top benefits of digital trustThe consequences of a lack of digital trustBiggest digital trust obstaclesAccountability for digital trustBudgetsMeasurementSPONSOR: Vanta’s trust management platform takes the manual work out of your security and compliance process and replaces it with continuous automation—whether you’re pursuing your first framework or managing a complex program.For more on the Security & Risk Professional Insight Series visit https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/security-amp-risk-professional-insight-series-2025/For more on IPRAAC – visit Indo-Pacific Robotics, Autonomy, AI and Cyber Conference 7-9 October 2025 – Perth, Western Australia - https://indopacificroboticsconference...For more information on our sponsor – VANTA – visit https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/vanta#vanta #isaca #digitaltrust #mysecuritytv

Welcome to the Indo-Pacific State of Cyber Series with ISACA and sponsored by Vanta. This session focuses on The State of Privacy - A Challenging Landscape: Lack of training or poor training tops reasons for privacy failuresSpeakersSafia Kazi - ISACA Global - Report Author Jo Stewart-Rattray - ISACA Oceania Ambassador Privacy professionals are under growing pressure as they face budget cuts, resource challenges and changes in regulations. According to ISACA's State of Privacy 2025 survey report, almost half (48 percent) expect a budget decrease in the next year and 73 percent indicate expert-level privacy professionals are the most difficult to hire, adding to the stress of keeping data safe and meeting compliance requirements. The new research from ISACA, the leading global professional association helping individuals advance their careers in digital trust fields, reflects insights from more than 1,600 privacy professionals worldwide.The study found that 63 percent of privacy professionals say their role is more stressful now than it was five years ago, with 34 percent indicating it is significantly more stressful. They cite the main causes of this stress as the rapid evolution of technology (63 percent), compliance challenges (61 percent) and resource shortages (59 percent).

Special Virtual Episodes with ISACA Leaders: State of Cyber (Part 1) - Maintaining readiness in a complex threat environmentSpeakers:Jamie Norton - ISACA Board Member Chirag Joshi - Sydney Chapter Board Member Abby Zhang - Auckland Chapter Board Member Jason Wood - Auckland Chapter former PresidentBharat Bajaj - ISACA Melbourne Board DirectorFor the full series visit: https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/security-amp-risk-professional-insight-series-2025/#mysecuritytv #isaca #cybersecurity OVERVIEWAccording to ISACA research, almost half of companies exclude cybersecurity teams when developing, onboarding, and implementing AI solutions.Only around a quarter (26%) of cybersecurity professionals or teams in Oceania are involved in developing policy governing the use of AI technology in their enterprise, and nearly half (45%) report no involvement in the development, onboarding, or implementation of AI solutions, according to the recently released 2024 State of Cybersecurity survey report from global IT professional association ISACA.Key Report Findings Security teams in Oceania noted they are primarily using AI for: Automating threat detection/response (36% vs 28% globally); Endpoint security (33% vs 27% globally); Automating routine security tasks (22% vs 24% globally); and Fraud detection (6% vs 13% globally).Additional AI resources to help cybersecurity and other digital trust professionalso EU AI Act white papero Examining Authentication in the Deepfake EraSYNOPSISISACA's 2024 State of Cybersecurity report reveals that stress levels are on the rise for cybersecurity professionals, largely due to an increasingly challenging threat landscape. The annual ISACA research also identifies key skills gaps in cybersecurity, how artificial intelligence is impacting the field, the role of risk assessments and cyber insurance in enterprises' security programs, and more.The demand for cybersecurity talent has been consistently high, yet efforts to increase supply are not reflected in the global ISACA IS/IT-community workforce. The current cybersecurity practitioners are aging, and the efforts to increase staffing with younger professionals are making little progress. Left unchecked, this situation will create business continuity issues in the future. Shrinking budgets and employee compensation carry the potential to adversely affect cybersecurity readiness much sooner than the aging workforce, when the Big Stay passes. Declines in vacant positions across all reporting categories may lead some enterprises to believe that the pendulum of power will swing back to employers, but the increasingly complex threat environment is greatly increasing stress in cybersecurity teams; therefore, the concern is not if, but when, employees will reach their tipping point to vacate current positions.

In today’s security world, there are numerous security solutions that can limit access to company data and IT resources and lock down access. However, when it comes to using AI apps and their back-end models, the answer is not so simple. In this session we take a deep-dive into the challenge that Cisco saw looming on the horizon years ago and has culminated in a brand-new solution called Cisco AI Defence.
