Leading IT solutions provider CMTG has reaffirmed that no organisation is immune from cyber threats, echoing Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Michele Bullock’s warning that institutions at every level must strengthen their digital resilience to protect critical systems and data.
Speaking at the University of Western Australia’s 60th Shann Memorial Lecture this week, Ms Bullock said the RBA was strengthening its defences through significant investment in data science and digital infrastructure to support monetary policy, protect payment systems and safeguard against growing cyber risks.
She cautioned that while the opportunities of new technologies were significant, they must be matched with rigorous governance, integration and preparedness.
CMTG Managing Director Carl Filpo said the RBA’s approach highlighted the urgency for all organisations to act.
“As we’ve stressed before, cybersecurity is not optional, it’s essential,” he said.
“The RBA is demonstrating that even the most established and highly regulated institutions must prioritise cyber security.
“Ongoing investment in resilience, infrastructure and preparedness is vital, and every business and
government agency should follow their lead.”
CMTG works with organisations across Australia to enhance cyber resilience, modernise IT infrastructure and ensure technology is harnessed responsibly.
Carl said he strongly agreed with Ms Bullock’s view that the true value of technology comes not from the tools themselves, but from how organisations integrate and manage them.
“At CMTG, we deliver secure, end-to-end solutions that protect sensitive data, while also enabling innovation and digital transformation with confidence,” he said.
“By investing in digital resilience today, organisations can safeguard operations, strengthen community trust and build a secure foundation for long-term growth.”
