Don't be the next victim - everything you need to know to protect your business from the dramatic increase in cyber attacks.
Cyber security features heavily in the news, media, and many conferences for good reason. Cyber-attacks are happening at an unprecedented scale and no business is exempt.
Cyber criminals use your business information and systems to profit and their business is booming. Data breaches, ransomware, sophisticated attacks, and phishing are regular features.
And while cyber security is a serious concern for most businesses, many don’t know where to start.
During this unique Captain's Table session, Cyber Security expert Brett Crockford will unpack the hype versus reality, with reality being even more alarming than the hype!
He will uncover attacker motivations, techniques with real-world examples and what it means to you.
Brett will also provide you with the knowledge to make sense of all the noise and to take positive steps to protect your business across key areas such as:
1. Data breaches, the risk, the impact and how to avoid.
2. Privacy & compliance obligations
3. Cyber Insurance for business resilience
4. Supply chain & cloud risk and how to be cyber-smart.
5. Securing data and access with a focus on remote/offshore/outsourced team members
6. The benefits & perils of AI/Chat GPT and derivatives
Lastly, Brett will talk about cyber resilience; what you can do, practically & sensibly, to securely enable your business into the future. He will draw on the expertise of Meena Wahi, a recognised cyber risk insurance expert and thought leader. Meena regularly speaks at conferences on cyber and data privacy risk and helps her clients with strategies to mitigate risk through insurance.

Come prepared to learn & discuss how your business can survive in this world of threats.
Brett Crockford is a technology professional with over 30 years of cyber security experience.
