MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - 8th August 2025 - Cyber Cognition is proud to announce that Founder Michael Collins is featured on Moxie Top Minds - an annual list showcasing knowledge from the most influential figures redefining business and technology in Australia.
This editorial initiative is invitation-only and houses industry leaders from all aspects of the ecosystem - CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CISOs, Founders etc. Highlighting voices of authority Australia-wide, expertise spans Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin.
Unlike conventional awards programs, the list is not ranked and is instead focused on providing authentic and in-depth commentary on the key issues of the day. Those honoured on the list will contribute invaluable insights that are democratised and amplified to a wider audience via editorial, research and event platforms.
Selection is based on editorial merit and is exclusive to:
- Industry Influencers: Those setting the market agenda through innovation and leadership.
- Figures of Authority: Those with the credibility to outline objective and compelling thought leadership.
- Industry Experts: Those operating at the beating heart of the market with deep levels of knowledge and insight.
- Inspirational Leaders: Those who act as models of success for future leaders to emulate and follow.
"Whether boldly innovating or decisively modernising, Moxie Top Minds are a source of knowledge and inspiration for an industry seeking compelling and credible thought leadership," said James Henderson, Editorial Director at Moxie Insights.
"Through this vetted list of front-runners, our editorial aim is to amplify and elevate voices of authority aligned to the top trends, priorities and challenges of today.
"In simple terms, Moxie Top Minds will mirror the industry - reflecting true executive sentiment from those operating at the beating heart of the market. Through this approach, we will collectively create a new benchmark for editorial excellence in Australia."
Moxie Top Minds is home to courageous innovators, cautious modernisers and composed transformers - those leading organisations through both opportunity and uncertainty.
Michael Collins was highlighted as an executive setting the market pace through new ideas and strategies, underpinned by a strong sense of purpose, mission and vision.

The official list will be published via Moxie Insights in September 2025, supported by the launch of community created research reports specific to the Australian market.
"Being recognised on Moxie Top Minds is both humbling and energising. At the intersection of cybersecurity and systems thinking lies untapped potential for organisations to move beyond reactive security measures to truly transformative approaches. Through my research applying the DSRP framework to cybersecurity challenges, I've seen firsthand how shifting our mental models, from viewing security as a technical problem to understanding it as a complex adaptive system, creates breakthrough results.
This recognition validates what I've long believed: that Australia needs thought leaders who can bridge the gap between deep technical expertise and strategic systems thinking. Too often, cybersecurity discussions focus on the latest threat or technology without addressing the underlying structures and mental models that create vulnerability in the first place.
Through platforms like Moxie Top Minds, I'm excited to share insights that help Australian organisations not just defend against today's threats but develop the adaptive thinking capabilities needed to thrive in an increasingly complex digital landscape. When we combine rigorous systems thinking with practical cybersecurity expertise, we don't just build better defences, we build better organisations." - Michael Collins, Founder, Cyber Cognition
