Aussie artificial intelligence company, MyCyberTwin, has spoken about its recent win at the New South Wales Australian Technology Showcase (ATS) Patron Awards.
Co-founder and chief innovation officer at the company, John Zakos, said MyCyberTwin’s $15,000 prize in the rising star award category would ensure the company's future success.
“Because we’re a growing company, all the extra cash is put towards company growth,” Zakos said. “My focus is on the core technology and the core pieces of technology.”
With an IT team of only five people, Zakos said the company has evolved since its inception in 2009, saying while the basic concept behind the business still centres on fusing human psychology with an advanced artificial intelligence engine, the product is now in line with market expectations.
“In the last couple of years, we’ve been focusing more on how to develop techniques for searching information,” he said.
“[It’s about] understanding what the market needs are and solving real problems... as opposed to being too much into the technology.
“This is different to what we were doing in the past because the cyber twin is now working autonomously on data that hasn’t been categorised or structured.”
With clients including NASA and the National Australia Bank, Zakos says MyCyberTwin has developed into a product that can be made to suit a multitude of business functions.
“It is about the different kinds of interaction with the cyber twin... it is more about understanding how a cyber twin can be used to complement existing channels rather than a stand-alone application,” he said.
“That’s one thing we’ve identified as a key area over the past few years about how cyber twins can be deployed.”

Three simple steps to better patch security
It’s estimated that 90% of successful attacks against software vulnerabilities could be prevented with an existing patch or configuration setting. Yet patching is a persistent challenge for IT managers. With the glut of patches released each year, how do you know which ones are truly critical security patches and which ones aren’t? And how can you identify which computers are actually missing the patches they need? This paper details a simple approach to patching that gives you better visibility into and control over patch assessment and compliance. -
Oracle Business Process Analysis Suite
Careful analysis and continuous optimization of business processes delivers real competitive advantage. Conversely, a random approach to process design negatively impacts a company’s bottom line. This insight is one reason successful companies adopt business process management (BPM) as a way of aligning their business processes with business and customer requirements. Success with BPM eliminates the gap between business strategy and implementation. Business users are empowered to participate in all stages of the business process lifecycle. Closed-loop integration between modeling, execution, and monitoring enables continuous and holistic business process improvement. -
Magic Quadrant for Managed Print Services, Worldwide
Gartner's managed print services (MPS) Magic Quadrant is a useful starting point for identifying and evaluating MPS providers. It is intended for Gartner's client base of mainly midsize and large organisations, many of which operate throughout two or more regions, and some of which are truly global. Although not all MPS projects are multiregional or global at the outset, customers often choose to scale up one region at a time. In this way, they can manage their office printing in a unified manner globally. Read more.
