SecurityBrief: AI, Compliance and Security Trends for 2026
Kat contributed to SecurityBrief Australia's 2026 outlook on AI, compliance and security, arguing trust has become a product feature in its own right.
ORCA Opti's Founder and Managing Director, Kathryn Giudes, was one of the industry voices featured in SecurityBrief Australia's 2026 outlook on AI, compliance and security. The piece sets out where Australian organisations should focus next year as AI moves from informational to operational.
Kat's contribution made the case that trust itself is now the deciding feature:
"Trust is the new product feature. Customers and partners will choose teams who protect privacy, keep trade secrets safe and maintain compliance without slowing down delivery."

It's the same thesis behind our own Move Fast and Don't Break Trust piece.
