Cybersecurity Advisors Network

We are honoured to welcome Nigel Phair, founding force behind Australia’s first High-Tech Crime Centre, Director for CREST Asia Pacific and Cybersecurity Professor at Monash university, to the Secure-in-Mind podcast. In this episode, we trace his shift from AFP investigations to shaping global infosec certification, we touch on Australia’s evolving cyber-professionalisation debate, and explore how AI and low-/no-code tools are rewriting secure development. We cross a lot of territory, so whether you're on a board or on a development team, there'll be something for you.  Blog post with supporting links here:  https://cybersecurityadvisors.network/2025/07/25/new-podcast-nigel-phair/ [https://cybersecurityadvisors.network/2025/07/25/new-podcast-nigel-phair/] Nigel Phair on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nigelphair/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/nigelphair/] Nick Kelly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickkelly/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickkelly/] Check out the rest of CyAN's media channels at https://cybersecurityadvisors.network/media [https://cybersecurityadvisors.network/media] - and visit us at https://cybersecurityadvisors.network [https://cybersecurityadvisors.network] Intro/outro music courtesy of Studio Kolomna via Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/studiokolomna-2073170/ [https://pixabay.com/users/studiokolomna-2073170/]

Bjørn Ihler is Director of the Sweden-based Khalifa Ihler Institute, as well as founder and CEO of Revontulet, a Norwegian consultancy devoted to helping organisations protect themselves against terrorism and violent extremism. We continue our  conversation about terrorism - including whether the term has been watered down due to overuse, how we can spot extremist content, what some of the tactics of actors are, and how extremist and violent groups relate to more legitimate-yet-extreme political parties.
