Listen "CYBER SECURITY UNCUT: Rethinking Australia's data retention regulations"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Cyber Security Uncut podcast, Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson and Phil Tarrant cover the latest breaking news in cyber security and question whether Australia needs more stringent data retention regulations. The pair begin the podcast unpacking the fallout from the war in Ukraine and how conflict prompts actors to rethink the application of technology in conflict. Dr Thompson and Tarrant then analyse the breadth of the recent Latitude Financial hack and how it only takes a short window prior to detection and response for threat actors to steal or encrypt critical data. The podcast wraps up with a discussion surrounding data retention and whether companies should retain identification documentation, prompting Dr Thompson to suggest a rethink in how companies retain sensitive data.
