In this episode of The Commercial Disco, CyberArk’s Head of Public Sector Derek Moir joins InnovationAus.com publisher Corrie McLeod to unpack why identity — both human and machine — has become the new frontline in cybersecurity. As government agencies rapidly shift to cloud and SaaS platforms, Mr Moir warns that many are still lagging in how they manage identity, leaving systems exposed to escalating threats, including AI-driven attacks and post-quantum vulnerabilities. He calls for urgent cultural change, stronger governance, and embedding identity security at the core of frameworks like the ACSC’s Essential Eight.
