Topic: Boards: Cyber security Accountability and Responsibility in a Post Pandemic World
With cyber security almost a daily front page news, it has certainly spurred the conversation and lifted cyber as a topic of significant challenge and consequence. We now see the proposal by the government to fast-track changes to our privacy laws which would see fines for repeated or serious data breaches rise from $2.2 million to up to $50 million or 30% of "adjusted" turnover.

Many reports and surveys including the latest AICD Sentiment Survey found that Boards are placing cyber security as a significant concern and priority but when asked about their ability to understand, manage and mitigate the risk, many find themselves reliant on others. Cyber security is an issue for the whole organisation and should not just be left to the CIO and the technical cyber-practitioners. Boards and organisational leaders need to decide not only how to manage the historical tensions between usability and security, but how such decisions will be viewed in the final analysis of an incident and data breach.

So, what exactly are the concerns and how does a Board member prepare themselves and the organisation for the eventual attack? How do you create an awareness and a sense of urgency that cyber security is not something that affects others but is an existential threat to the business, organisation and Board, in the digital world?

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers. The presentation will be followed by EOY festive celebrations.
