SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 12 November 2026 – Securonix, Inc., today released Australian findings from its global report, The Evolution of Cybersecurity Automation: Towards Human-Governed AI Execution. The research reveals that Australian organisations are among the most proactive adopters of AI-driven security operations, while also facing significant challenges in implementing the technology at scale.
