In this episode, host Bek Cheb is joined by David Stockdale, Director of AUSCERT, and Ivano Bongiovanni, General Manager, for a wide-ranging conversation that goes beyond titles and roles. Together, they reflect on the personal moments that shaped their year, the lessons learned through change and growth, and the milestones that defined AUSCERT in 2025.
The discussion explores the development of AUSCERT’s long-term 2025–2030 strategy, the organisation’s evolving identity within the global CERT community, and the importance of collaboration, patience, and adaptability in a rapidly changing cyber security landscape. David and Ivano also share candid insights into leadership, change management, and what it takes to balance ambition with sustainability.
Whether you’re part of the AUSCERT community or navigating change within your own organisation, this episode offers thoughtful reflections, practical leadership insights, and a clear sense of purpose for the year ahead.
