Take a peek behind the scenes at our brand new, world class studio. Soon to launch on Ticker NEWS.

It’s been a long time coming. Regular viewers and followers of Ticker will know we have gone through a lot of transformations in our nearly two year journey since August 19 2019 and now.

We began in a tiny co-working space in Melbourne’s CBD. In March last year, it was time to move on in to a warehouse studio in Richmond.

But within a year, that “new home” suddenly felt rather cramped. With 20 staff, and about six sets later, our growth phase brought us to Port Melbourne.

Ever since we moved in two months ago, we have been working on a new set design which is truly world class.

ICONIC DESIGN

Designed by iconic Australian TV set designer Mal Nichols, and built by Richwood Projects, the new Ticker set will make viewers feel like they’ve dropped into a studio that belongs in New York or London.

Featuring concrete beams, Scandinavian wood features, and huge LED screens that covers an entire wall, the new studio is currently under construction in Melbourne’s south east.

The Ticker background in 3D is brought to life.

Beating lockdown, I got the chance to visit the new set as it received its first coat of paint. Turning lots of plywood and timber into an elegant design.

The new set will take Ticker to the next level, on top of our new premises and updated apps and website. The studio will feature four cameras, including an automated jib. Hosts will have a number of presenting options for Ticker NEWS and Ticker ORIGINALS programming.

The LED wall is among the most advanced in Australia and will allow us to take viewers closer into the story.

Ticker has grown from humble beginnings into a multimedia news and information company, with a monthly reach of over 4.5 million viewers.

It hasn’t been easy but it’s been a hell of a lot of fun. Stay tuned for more progress pics and of course the big reveal.

Cyber security shifts redefine critical infrastructure in APAC

Cyber security evolution prompts redefinition of critical infrastructure in Asia Pacific amid rising digital threats

Cyber security evolution prompts redefinition of critical infrastructure in Asia Pacific amid rising digital threats.

In Short:
– Cyber security incidents in Asia Pacific redefine critical infrastructure, expanding its scope beyond just industrial machinery.
– New strategies emphasise visibility to protect crucial sectors like banking, finance, and telecommunications from cyber threats.

The rise in cyber security incidents in Asia Pacific is reshaping the definition and protection of critical infrastructure. New digital and operational technology risks are prompting stakeholders to reconsider conventional beliefs that critical infrastructure is primarily industrial machinery behind high fences.

Michael Fisher from Garland Technology discusses this evolving landscape. Critical infrastructure now encompasses essential services such as banking, finance, and telecommunications, expanding beyond traditional definitions.

The convergence of IT and operational technology (OT) networks increases cyber security risks. Many OT services were not designed with cyber security in mind, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attacks. Industries most at risk include telecommunications, banking, finance, and utilities, where any disruption can significantly impact society.

Increased Visibility

Fisher highlights that traditional cyber security alone is insufficient to secure these infrastructures. Effective protection requires a new approach focused on visibility. Garland Technology’s mission is to provide visibility to upstream cyber security platforms, eliminating blind spots.

Governments and businesses must recognise their roles in combatting cyber threats. Australia’s Security of Critical Infrastructure Act is a step towards increasing corporate responsibility in recognising critical infrastructure and ensuring compliance with security measures.

Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
