What if the biggest threat to your business isn’t a hacker — but the assumptions you’re making?Season 2 of the REDD Technology Podcast has arrived. Now hosted by Marco Nicosia, Chief Strategy Officer at REDD, alongside CEO Bryan Rogers and COO Chris Herbert, this season kicks off with a critical discussion on the cybersecurity myths that continue to put Australian businesses at risk. In this episode, the team unpacks common misconceptions, challenges outdated thinking, and shares practical insights to help organisations strengthen their security posture in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
You’ll explore why being “too small” no longer protects you, how generative AI and automation have lowered the barrier for cybercriminals, and why attackers no longer hand-pick their targets. You’ll hear how mass targeting works, how AI-driven phishing and deepfakes are evolving, and why small and mid-sized businesses are often seen as the easier entry point.
You’ll also unpack the misconception that your IT provider alone has cybersecurity covered, and why true protection requires leadership accountability, shared responsibility, and proactive planning.
Most importantly, you’ll confront the real cost of doing nothing — from financial impact and operational downtime to reputational damage that can take years to rebuild.If you want practical insight, sharper awareness, and a clearer understanding of your role in protecting your business, this episode is essential listening.
