Commonwealth Bank of Australia cyber defence operations leader Andrew Pade is building an AI legacy that will protect customers from cyber attacks and security professionals from career burnout.

Rew Pade took on the role of general manager of cyber defence operations and security integration at CBA just over three years ago.

Pade said the bank is now seeking to further leverage artificial intelligence to support its response to both commodity and sophisticated cyberthreats while providing more clarity and support for cyber security professionals, which will hopefully prevent the common problem of career burnout.

Pade hopes one of the legacies he will leave at CBA, and more broadly in the cyber security industry, will be to utilise the power of AI to reduce burnout among cyber security professionals.

Pade said AI can benefit cyber security professionals because it "Doesn't have a limbic system and it doesn't sleep." This means AI could be used to monitor threats at all times, including overnight or on holidays, so cyber professionals will not miss critical threats as they arise.

SEE: Australia is adapting fast to generative AI. In the end, Pade said it becomes "a dance" between data scientists, cyber security staff and partners.
