KPMG has appointed two experts to its cyber advisory team.

Katherine Robins will develop digital security services for cloud computing, mobility, the Internet of Things and next-gen services for clients.

She was previously a partner at Deloitte and has worked as a principal security expert for Telstra and other businesses.

Phil Baker, previously director of cyber at PwC, will be responsible for bringing KPMG’s cyber expertise to clients in Canberra.

“Cyber security and data privacy have consistently ranked as top priorities for Australian CEOs and are a strategic growth area for KPMG,” the professional services group’s cyber practice leader Gordon Archibald said.
