We are honoured to welcome Nigel Phair, founding force behind Australia’s first High-Tech Crime Centre, Director for CREST Asia Pacific and Cybersecurity Professor at Monash university, to the Secure-in-Mind podcast.

In this episode, we trace his shift from AFP investigations to shaping global infosec certification, we touch on Australia’s evolving cyber-professionalisation debate, and explore how AI and low-/no-code tools are rewriting secure development.

We cross a lot of territory, so whether you're on a board or on a development team, there'll be something for you.

Nick Kelly is pleased to welcome Philip Amann, the current Head of Digital Security at the European Central Bank and veteran strategist from Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Secretariat for Cyber/ICT, the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), and beyond, for our latest podcast episode.

We cut straight to how real-world security gets built: nailing secure coding and patching before chasing zero-days, turning NIS2 and DORA mandates into everyday habits, and even gamifying developer training to tackle legacy tech.

Whether you’re drafting policy or shipping production code, this conversation offers practical takeaways on making cybersecurity everyone’s business. Tune in for some incredible insight!

Bjørn Ihler is Director of the Sweden-based Khalifa Ihler Institute, as well as founder and CEO of Revontulet, a Norwegian consultancy devoted to helping organisations protect themselves against terrorism and violent extremism.

We continue our conversation about terrorism - including whether the term has been watered down due to overuse, how we can spot extremist content, what some of the tactics of actors are, and how extremist and violent groups relate to more legitimate-yet-extreme political parties.

Bjørn Ihler is Director of the Sweden-based Khalifa Ihler Institute, as well as founder and CEO of Revontulet, a Norwegian consultancy devoted to helping organisations protect themselves against terrorism and violent extremism.

An activist, expert, and frequent speaker on the topic of terrorist and violent extremist content (TVEC), Bjørn joins us today to share his thoughts on the very broad topic of "terrorism". What is it, who are the major actors, who is affected and how, where does terrorism come from, and more - these are all topics that we touch on in this fascinating introduction to an area that's often clouded by buzzwords and sensationalism.
