In this episode, we dig into two gripping and high-stakes stories in cybersecurity. First, Qantas is one of nearly 40 global firms being extorted over stolen data from Salesforce, now leaking millions of customer records. Then, in Australia, a health services firm becomes the first to face a major civil penalty—$5.8 million—for a data breach that exposed sensitive personal records. These twin lessons underscore just how fast the regulatory and threat landscape is evolving.
You’ll hear clear, actionable advice for your business: how to defend against vishing attacks, contain data exposure, plan incident responses, and stay on the right side of privacy regulators.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
