Introducing two new panelists at the Thriving in a Digital and Secure Age luncheon

Joining us at our Thriving in a Digital and Secure Age luncheon as panelists will be Andrew Dell, Chief Information Security Officer for National Australia Bank and Mike Burgess, Chief Information Security Officer for Telstra.

Andrew Dell
CISO, NAB

Formerly a commissioned officer in the Australian Army, the analysis, treatment and mitigation of security risk has been the foundation of Andrew's career. Initially this involved security and risk related activities for large scale, complex military deployments and later, Defence-wide security policy and planning (national and international).

Following his time in Defence, Andrew worked as a consultant, focusing almost exclusively on complex, high security environments such as Government Departments, large telecommunications providers and Law Enforcement Agencies in Australia and Europe. Andrew moved to Melbourne in 2006 where his work focused on law enforcement agencies, including establishing the Office of the Commissioner for Law Enforcement Data Security in Victoria (as part of the foundation team).

Andrew moved to NAB in 2010 where he has held various leadership roles before taking on his current role in Jul 2016. As CISO, Andrew is accountable for the security of NAB and its Customers globally.


Mike Burgess
CISO, Telstra

Mike Burgess is Telstra’s Chief Information Security Officer and has led Telstra’s Security Operations group since 2013.

Mike is known for his thought leadership and visionary approach to cyber, establishing the unique Discovery and Influence capabilities which play a critical role in protecting customer and corporate information.
