Scott Morrison stories

{ "introduction": "

Scott Morrison is an insightful author who delves into the intricacies of technology and cyber security. In his writing, he sheds light on various topics ranging from the distribution rights of Microsoft's Surface Hub 2S in Australia, to the pressing issues related to state-based cyber attacks targeting Australian government and businesses.

\n

Morrison's work also addresses the challenges faced by Australian contact centres amid the COVID-19 pandemic, including the increased risk of cyber attacks that come with remote working arrangements. His analysis extends to data management challenges within Australia's public sector during crises and mergers, as well as common pitfalls in adopting cloud computing accelerated by the pandemic.

A key theme in Morrison's writing is the intersection of technology and policy. He covers pivotal events such as the opening of Macquarie's Intellicentre 3 East hyperscale data centre and Microsoft's endorsement of Australia's News Media Bargaining Code. Furthermore, Morrison reports on global cyber-attack trends and future concerns, such as ongoing supply chain disruptions predicted by Shopify.
