We’re hiring: Senior Cyber Defence and Response Specialist
We’re continuing to strengthen our Cyber Defence Centre at AMP and are recruiting a Senior Cyber Defence and Response Specialist to help protect an iconic Australian financial institution during a period of genuine transformation.
This is a hands‑on, technical role at the heart of our cyber operations. You’ll be detecting, investigating and responding to sophisticated threats across a complex enterprise environment, while helping us move towards a more proactive, intelligence‑led defence model. Beyond BAU response, you’ll play a key role in improving detection, threat hunting, automation and incident response maturity across AMP.
You’ll be a great fit for this role if you have:
- Strong, hands‑on experience in incident response, threat hunting and security event analysis
- Solid capability across SIEM, XDR, endpoint, WAF and cloud security controls
- Experience working in large, regulated enterprise environments
- Practical knowledge of frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST and cyber kill chains
- A calm, analytical approach and the ability to perform well in fast‑paced situations
At AMP, we’re intentionally lean, inclusive and outcomes‑focused. You’ll be close to the action, encouraged to challenge the status quo, and supported by leaders who genuinely value strong security thinking. If you enjoy variety, taking ownership, and seeing your work directly improve organisational resilience, you’ll feel at home here.
If you’re keen to protect what matters today and help shape how cyber defence is done tomorrow, we’d love to hear from you.

Geopolitics Is Now a Technology Risk
Geopolitics has become a direct and material technology risk, and it now firmly belongs on the CISO’s agenda. 🌐 Trade disputes, sanctions, cyber espionage, and digital sovereignty are reshaping where data lives, who can access it, and how resilient our platforms really are.
Our dependence on globally distributed supply chains and a small number of predominantly US-based ☁️ cloud providers has concentrated high‑value data and critical services in a few strategic locations. In a heightened geopolitical environment, cloud data centres are now strategic infrastructure, and disruptions—malicious or not—can quickly become systemic business events.
In this article, I explore why technology is uniquely exposed to geopolitical shocks and what CISOs and technology leaders should be doing now to factor geopolitics into cloud, availability, and resilience planning.

💡Agentic AI's Identity Crisis
Agentic AI — autonomous 🤖 agents that can perceive, decide, and act — are entering business workflows fast. But as these non-human “digital workers” multiply, identity has become the hidden challenge.
Most enterprises haven’t extended authentication and access controls to these agents, creating ungoverned digital personas operating at machine speed: a serious security risk.
This article explores why identity is the new frontier of AI security, and how cybersecurity leaders can govern agentic AI safely through strong authentication, lifecycle management, and accountability.
