Episode 173: Dr. Kevin Tham

Kevin is a CISO leader in the Australian Digital Banking sector and a seasoned information security veteran in the financial services industry.  Kevin’s practical approach to Cyber Security is often seen as pushing the boundaries and balance between user centric design and effective controls. Kevin began his career as an academia researcher in the late 90s, an educator, and a security engineer, slowly climbing his way through organisations, developing and implementing security controls, when many organisations do not regard information security as a risk. Today, Kevin is the CISO of a fintech organisation, which is aiming to make a difference to individuals through well thought out banking solutions and products. During his spare time, Kevin devotes his time by volunteering and giving his time back to the Security industry through his involvement with the ISACA Sydney Chapter. He served on the ISACA Sydney Chapter Board for 8 years and was also a former President, dedicated to serving its over 1600 Chapter members.
