In this episode we talk with the Dr Marcus Thompson. Marcus was a Major General in the Australian Army, and the inaugural head of information warfare with the ADF. Since retiring from the armed forces, Marcus has been incredibly active in the cyber space.
He’s probably one of the more well known public commentators, he advises numerous companies in cyber strategy and sits on a number of boards, including a number of cyber security companies.
Marcus comments on his role with the ADF and the transferability of his cyber skills to the corporate world. He also offers some excellent insights on board engagement and building cyber resilience, including the need to undertake simulations. Importantly, Marcus talks about the role that veterans can play when they re-enter in the workforce and the role we all play in facilitating that. While his comments resonate well beyond cyber, notably, a number of ADF veterans are now leading some of our most successful cyber companies.
