Developed by global workplace culture consultancy, Great Place To Work, the prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Infoblox.

Notably, Infoblox employees highlighted that the organisation has great coordination from management and makes new employees feel welcome.

The recognition comes following the opening of Infoblox's new Australian headquarters in Sydney. The new offices include a customer and partner training and collaboration suite, and are located in the heart of the fast-growing North Sydney tech hub. Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work, Sarah Lewis-Kulin, highlighted that the influence of leadership within organisations is more critical than ever in 2025.
'Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,' says Sarah Lewis-Kulin. She emphasises that the certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture.
'By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Infoblox stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.'

Shadows over netball's place in the sun

Netball has long had a special place for New Zealanders. It has been the number one women's team sport in both interest and participation. Its stars, outside of Olympic Games heroes, often represented the pinnacle of sporting achievement for female sport. Netball legends, including Dunedin's former New Zealand representative and revered coach Lois Muir, have long been admired and celebrated. Showdowns against Australia were eagerly anticipated. A broad cross-section of sporting fans recognised the team and its players. Viewership during the heyday of World Championship and Commonwealth Games finals was immense. Yet, much has and is changing, at least at the elite level. The domestic netball competition once commanded high fees for broadcast rights. These were sold to Sky, both a blessing and a curse. The money enabled the players to be paid salaries and boosted professionalism but, because the games were on a subscription service, much of the population was excluded. Children had fewer opportunities to see potential heroes in action. Netball faded a little from the limelight. Netball's appeal to broadcasters has waned, and in recent months it has struggled to secure a broadcast partner. While TVNZ 1 will now show games live and on demand, reports suggest Netball New Zealand had to pay for the privilege. This year, the domestic competition was shortened to reduce costs. Its format for next season remains uncertain. Meanwhile, top players are heading overseas in search of better financial rewards. Superstar Grace Nweke left for Australia this year, initially sacrificing her eligibility to represent New Zealand. Unable to offer competitive salaries, Netball NZ has backtracked, allowing certain players, including Nweke, to depart while retaining Silver Fern eligibility. The criteria for this dispensation remain undisclosed. Several players are heading overseas, including Southern Steel co-captain Kate Heffernan. Who can blame them, when top players might earn $120,000 in Australia compared to just $60,000 in New Zealand? Even that figure is uncertain, with pay cuts expected next year, and many players earning significantly less. Next year, the televised league will also lack the draw of its 10 or so most recognised netballers, weakening its appeal. On the other hand, the presence of many of them in the Australian league could offer a new platform for New Zealand fans to follow the sport Netball might go the way of basketball, football and rugby league, with one or two New Zealand teams competing in Australia. That would be a long way from the days when the two countries shared a competition with the same number of teams. Premier netball is shifting from professional to semi-professional, and perhaps even amateur. Unlike rugby or cricket, it lacks a male counterpart to help underpin professional structures. Unlike football, it lacks international clout and the revenue generated by World Cups. And unlike basketball, it is not a global sport offering pathways such as US college scholarships. Viewers now have compelling alternatives in women's rugby, rugby league, football, and cricket, most of which carry greater overall clout. These sports are also drawing athletic talent that once gravitated toward netball. As a result, netball's standards are likely to decline, and New Zealand may struggle to consistently reclaim a top-two global ranking. Netball also faces intensified competition for commercial interest and sponsorship. The good news is the enduring strength at the community level. It continues to benefit from dedicated volunteers and, particularly in the South, capable development officers. Southland, of course, remains the standout region for netball support. Netball New Zealand's registered player numbers rose from about 120,000 in 2024 to about 145,000 last year. However, there may have been a decline in secondary school participation. Basketball and volleyball have grown in popularity. Indoor team sports have growing costs and organisational advantages over those based on fields. Volleyball demonstrates that a high profile is not necessary to thrive. Netball's deep roots in New Zealand society will serve it well in the challenging times ahead.

BeyondTrust cloud security completes IRAP PROTECTED review by CyberCX

BeyondTrust has announced that four of its security solutions have completed an Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the PROTECTED classification level through a review conducted by CyberCX. The IRAP assessment, required by Australian government departments before adopting external security platforms, was conducted in line with Phase 1A of the Australian Cyber Security Centre's (ACSC) Cloud Assessment and Authorisation Framework. The assessment covered compliance against the controls set out in the March 2025 version of the Australian Information Security Manual (ISM). Four BeyondTrust solutions were included in the assessment: Endpoint Privilege Management, Password Safe, Privileged Remote Access, and Remote Support. The assessment process involved a documentation review and technical configuration checks by CyberCX to ensure operational effectiveness at the PROTECTED classification level. This enables government agencies and public sector organisations to make risk-informed decisions about cloud adoption and the use of BeyondTrust's offerings. The IRAP program is designed to provide assurance that vendor solutions meet strict cybersecurity control requirements for government information that needs protection at higher sensitivity levels. It allows departments to evaluate both the security posture and the compliance of external solutions prior to deployment in their environments. The assessment period began in March 2025 and was completed in July 2025. CyberCX conducted a technical and procedural evaluation to confirm BeyondTrust's alignment with IRAP and Australian ISM requirements. This verification included an examination of how the company's solutions address the cloud controls matrix, which is instrumental for agencies to assess their own risk when using Software as a Service (SaaS) products and platforms for sensitive information. Roshi Balendran, Regional Sales Director at BeyondTrust, said the successful assessment enhances BeyondTrust's capacity to serve the public sector and commercial enterprises handling data at the PROTECTED level. "We are delighted to have successfully completed the IRAP assessment, which now allows BeyondTrust to expand our ability to work with both public sector organisations and commercial businesses that require information to be stored, processed, and communicated at the 'Protected' classification level," said Roshi Balendran. "The IRAP assessment reflects our commitment to our Australian government customers in providing them with industry-leading identity security solutions that help to secure their Paths to Privilege." Balendran also noted the effect on the company's partners in Australia, specifically referencing potential benefits to the broader market and public sector cyber defences. "In addition, our Australian channel partners also now have more market opportunities to strengthen the cyber defences of Australian government agencies with a suite of BeyondTrust identity security solutions, which facilitate faster and more informed decision-making processes," Balendran added. BeyondTrust stated that details of the IRAP assessment are available for customers to review as part of their own due diligence when considering the company's solutions for adoption. The IRAP assessment and the associated compliance reporting are aimed at helping public sector organisations adopt cloud-based security solutions with confidence that they have undergone rigorous third-party evaluation, confirming alignment with the Australian Government's standards for the protection of sensitive information.
