Gajan Ananthapavan of ANZ has been named the new chief information security officer of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank.
Ananthapavan has been the technology area lead for security operations, intelligence, and influence at ANZ for the last four years.
On October 28, he will formally take over the position after Shannon Jurkovic, who left Bendigo as CISO for three and a half years to join the Australian Retirement Trust in June.
“Gajan brings more than two decades of cyber security, threat intelligence, and strategy expertise and learnings to the bank,” said a Bendigo and Adelaide spokesperson.
ANZ plans to start hiring soon to replace Ananthapavan.
In the last two months, Bendigo has appointed three technology leaders, including Ananthapavan.
After Andrew Cresp, the bank’s CIO for more than four and a half years, resigned in August, Nathalie Moss was promoted to acting CIO.
A month later, Xavier Shay, the CEO of Bendigo’s Neobank Up, was given the newly established position of chief digital officer.
The appointments coincide with the bank’s “significant progress on its transformation program,” which includes investing in AI and new security measures as well as implementing a large-scale cloud migration.
