In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, Tony Howell, global chief architect, defence and intelligence at archTIS, joins host Liam Garman to assess how Australian businesses can utilise the AUKUS agreement to expand into British and American markets.

  • The podcast begins with a discussion as to whether the introduction of critical military technologies under AUKUS, including nuclear propulsion, will make Australian companies the targets of sophisticated overseas cyber threat actors, before unpacking how local companies can protect themselves.
  • Howell then provides insight for Australian defence companies looking to expand into the US and the UK markets, and what regulatory and legislative data requirements they are likely to face.
  • The pair then wrap up the podcast analysing the future of ITAR, and how archTIS can support companies navigating ITAR requirements in their growth cycle.

Enjoy the podcast,
