In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, host Robert Dougherty sits down with PentenAmio executive co-chair Matthew Wilson to discuss the rapidly evolving world of secure communications.

The pair examine the redefined world of sovereign capability in secure mobile communications, artificial intelligence-enabled cyber defence and electronic deception technologies.

In the lead-up to the Military Communications and Information Systems Conference 2025 and the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition 2025, the pair assess the need to embrace mobile-first resilience and depth of collaboration between industry, government and Defence to strengthen national strategy.

They also discuss:

  • The historic merger of Penten and Amiosec earlier this year and the company’s new strategic position.
  • Secure Mobility and its critical role in today’s government and defence industry context.
  • How effective collaboration between government, defence and industry can deliver sovereign, usable solutions that meet emerging national security challenges.

Finally, the pair close out the podcast announcing a commemorative sculpture installation at the Defence Force School of Signals, in recognition of the fine work performed by Australian Defence Force Signals personnel.
