Malcolm Crompton OA

Malcolm has an agenda: to prove we can have both security and privacy in the digital age.

To prove his dedication to the cause, Malcolm founded Information Integrity Solutions, is the author of The New Governance of Data and received a Member of the Order of Australia for service to public administration in data protection, privacy, and identity management. He also served as Australia’s Privacy Commissioner from 1999 to 2004.

Malcolm is pro-privacy and pro-digital platforms. He’s enigmatic like that. Now he joins CyberBeat to tell us why.

Dione Green

Co-producer

A self-described ‘creative multitasker’, Dione is co-producer of CyberBeat.

Dione is a journalist of all sorts - pen to paper, fingers to keyboard, thoughts to airwaves.

When they are not writing, Dione joins Malcolm and Rita to talk about all things cyber. Dione makes use of her extensive radio experience to break down complex cyber news so we can all make smarter, more informed decisions.
