This cybersecurity boss has a warning about your office's aircon unit
Jaya Baloo is concerned about quantum computing, cyber warfare and your office's air conditioning unit.
The cybersecurity landscape is scary. The cybercrime black market is enormous and expected to reach USD10 trillion in 2025. And it's only getting scarier, with new technologies like AI and quantum computing upping the stakes at the same time as cyber is becoming an increasingly important frontier of war.
After 3 years as Avasts chief information security officer, Jaya Baloo earlier this year took up that same role at Rapid7, a USD4.5 billion cybersecurity firm.
The Optus hack in 2022 was the most significant breach in recent Australian history. I know Australia isn't your domain, but you've been here for a week now and I'm sure it's come up.
I followed it before I was ever here, of course, because it was a huge hack.
