Join us and our sponsor Aura, as we discuss the ever changing landscape of cyber threats and how to be prepared for when, not if, it happens to your organisation.
New Zealand Boards and their organisations have seen major threats materialise that weren’t fully recognised or specifically planned for over recent years. A series of major earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, climate change impacts and a global pandemic have been challenging and with very visible impacts that Boards have helped their management navigate and work through.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has raised the cyber security profile, even though the conflict seems a long way from New Zealand. Cyber-attacks are now a constant feature of business risk. Every level of activity in any organisation relies on technology directly or indirectly and is at risk from malicious actors. As a result, oversight of effective and integrated leadership of cyber security is central to a Board’s role in delivering organisational strategy, organisation risk management and delivering value.
In many countries, requirements for reporting cyber-attacks, expectations of board level oversight of cyber security and calls for boards and directors to build their digital and cyber capability are growing.
