AboutPhilip Hall
Welcome! I’m a seasoned technology professional with over two decades of experience, currently working as the Senior Manager for Cyber Intelligence, Assurance & Awareness at Resolution Life Australasia. Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a passion for exploring how emerging technologies, particularly cyber security and artificial intelligence (AI), can shape our future - for better or worse - and how we can harness these innovations to create a safer, more connected world. My journey began in web development and IT infrastructure, evolving through enterprise security architecture and consulting. Along the way, I’ve consistently pioneered new solutions, including achieving Australia's first APRA approval for running production workloads in the cloud. This spirit of innovation fuels my focus on AI as a transformative force in both cybersecurity, AI and the broader technological landscape. AI, combined with other future technologies, presents extraordinary opportunities to improve our lives -enhancing how we work, interact, and solve complex problems. Yet, as with all powerful tools, it comes with risks. My work focuses on balancing this duality: maximising the benefits of technologies like AI - while safeguarding against their misuse, particularly in the cyber threat landscape. As a communicator, I bridge the gap between technical complexity and actionable insights, helping organisations - from board members & executives to IT teams - understand the risks they face and how to respond effectively. My ability to simplify and contextualise advanced threats makes me a trusted advisor at all levels, enabling organisations to leverage innovation securely. Beyond intelligence and awareness, I remain connected to the hands-on challenges of cybersecurity, contributing to operational and consulting efforts. This practical involvement ensures my strategies are not only visionary but also grounded in real-world application. The intersection of AI and future technologies excites me because it represents humanity’s potential to create a smarter, more secure world. I’m passionate about helping organisations navigate this transformative era with confidence, and known for my highly engaging presentations and workshops. I help build cyber savvy cultures, and solutions that protect and empower individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. Together, we can embrace the future while staying vigilant to its challenges. Feel free to get in touch direct.
