Long biography (215 words)
==========================

Jean-Baptiste Bres is Chief Information Security Officer and Director,
Enterprise AI & Technology – Security, Risk & Compliance at AMP, one of
Australia's best-known financial services groups, where he is responsible for
cyber security, technology risk and compliance.

A French-Australian executive, he has spent more than 20 years in banking and
financial services across Europe and Australia. Before AMP, he was Chief
Information Security Officer for HSBC in Australia and New Zealand. He built
the security function of Xinja, one of Australia's first digital banks, on a
cloud-native technology stack, supported Avenue Bank on its path to a banking
licence, and led information security at StatePlus. Earlier in his career he
worked for BNP Paribas and Société Générale.

Jean-Baptiste sees security as the discipline that lets an organisation take
the right risks, rather than one that tries to avoid them all. He favours
security engineered into delivery rather than added at the end, risk expressed
in business terms, and teams built on clear, shared accountability.

He is active in the security community: he co-facilitates the ISC2 Sydney
Chapter's study group for the Certified in Cybersecurity exam, wrote a free
guide to that certification, lectures in information technology at university
level and mentors early-career security practitioners. He holds the CISSP,
CGEIT, CC and Certified ScrumMaster certifications.
