@AustralianArmy Well done. Army cadets is one of the best things a young Australian can do for themselves and for their country

I gave a talk in Canberra on geopolitics and cybersecurity covering this topic 2.5 years ago, and said the capital flight to the US for high tech was inevitable, just based on fundamentals let alone national security grounds. If you were looking to make $ in tech, you’d put your money in the US.

The question is would this have happened regardless without a deal?

Again I am questioning why I pay for LinkedIn. X premium + is nearly half the price with significantly more utility, as LinkedIn is mostly AI slop now, versus the human written slop of yesteryear.

No lies detected.

An interesting title #calculus

If you are at #CyberconMelbourne25 this morning, come along to what my mum would say would be the best presentation of the conference, to hear me talk about regulation, AI, where Australia is heading and how we could end up regulating ourselves to irrelevance.

Room 204 at 10:25.

It’s good to be back at Cybercon. I’ll be speaking tomorrow with Brian Fletchers on ransomware and on Friday on the AI and privacy regulation. You can find my talk abstract here https://t.co/RsU6yC0W8y

Finally trying to reengage on X as LinkedIn has become functionally unusable.

While I follow a broad number of topics my engagement will be focussed on technology specifically around AI and cybersecurity.

[Nick Savvides @MelbourneGeek]

Most likely I'll be active during events, as I remember it being useful for that. But I am hoping this can be better alternative to LinkedIn, which has become an expensive address book, that is mostly self-aggrandising corporatised guff, that people still feel obligated to use

[Nick Savvides @MelbourneGeek]

Yikes, going through my old tweets is a real let's say 'insight'. No wonder I couldn't stay engaged with the platform.

[Nick Savvides @MelbourneGeek]

Okay, after several failed attempts at using this, I am trying a fourth time. It's been 6 years since I last posted anything. Let's see how long this lasts.

@antonio__maza @Seoul_gov @SymantecANZ Thanks for the shout out. I hope you enjoyed the presentation!

@MelbourneGeek in full flight at #iscr2018

[Nick Savvides @MelbourneGeek]

@BrianFletcherAU Glad you were taking photos rather than heckling!

[Nick Savvides @MelbourneGeek]

Excited to be speaking at International Symposium on Cybercrime Response #iscr2018 in Seoul on the industrialisation of cybercrime & my predictions for the future. @BrianFletcherAU is with me so I may be heckled. @SymantecANZ @SymantecASIA

[Nick Savvides @MelbourneGeek]

Very proud of @SymantecANZ that rather than giving away yet another set of headphones/drone/camera/useless tchotchke and is instead supporting drought affected farmers through the buy a bale program at the #gartnersec conference

[Nick Savvides @MelbourneGeek]

Full house for my talk on IoT security at #AusCERT2018. This should be fun. @AusCERT @SymantecANZ

"Healthcare systems are like industrial control systems - they are very vulnerable." "I think this is just an example of why we need to change our approach to dealing with what is essentially critical infrastructure for humans." . - @MelbourneGeek, @SymantecANZ CTO

@ZDNet spoke to @SymantecANZ CTO @MelbourneGeek about #cybersecurity in the age of the "smart office" https://t.co/R7rJMv6oTF
