Six days, four cities — Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth. A true whirlwind, and an incredibly rewarding one. Across the week, we met with clients spanning energy, mining, utilities, and healthcare. A consistent theme stood out: organisations are leaning into OT security not just as a necessity, but as a driver of resilience, transformation, and long-term positive change. It’s clear there’s strong momentum building across Australia, and it’s exciting to be part of the conversation. Samuel Linares! Thank you so very much. I really appreciate your time, leadership, and partnership in helping further the OT security conversation with our clients over here. Your perspective, approach, and ability to keep things fun (the best!), light, and professional made a big difference. Travel like this can be intense, but the energy, conversations, and shared perspective from everyone made it genuinely enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to what comes next!
