Special Episode: Why advisers need to heed PM’s warning regarding Russian cyber attack reprisals

On a special episode of the ifa Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by MAJGEN (Ret’d) Marcus Thompson, former head of the Department of Defence’s Information Warfare Division. Following Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) warning to Australian organisations that malicious activity may have local ramifications on the back of Russian-linked cyber attacks on Ukraine, Phil and MAJGEN (Ret’d) Thompson discuss Russia’s history of cyber war and how this vector will continue to shape peace and conflict in the future. This episode also looks at the impact of cyber warfare on Australian businesses, including Australian financial advisers who hold valuable client data in their books.
