Executive Story: AI Defending AI — How Commonwealth Bank is Redefining Cyber Defence
Tuesday, 17 March, 2026 / 10:15 AM - 10:45 AM AEDT
About the Session
As cyber threats become increasingly AI-driven, Commonwealth Bank (CBA) is pioneering a new model of defence — one where AI doesn’t just detect risk but actively defends against it. In this 1:1 session, Andrew Pade, GM Cyber Defence Operations, will discuss how CBA’s AI-first approach is transforming cybersecurity from reactive protection to proactive defence & resilience. He’ll explore how autonomous systems, human-AI symbiosis, and national collaboration are reshaping the front line of defence, not just for CBA, but for the broader Australian and financial ecosystem.
