Cyber Security, Resilience & Governance: What Every CEO Must Know!

Join us as we cut through the tech-talk and hype to unpack what CEOs truly need to understand about today’s evolving cyber risk landscape.
 
Cybersecurity breaches at companies ranging from Qantas to your suburban practice have made headlines – and served as a reminder that no sector is immune. But behind the headlines are deeper questions for leaders: How prepared are we? What are our true vulnerabilities? Where might our governance fall short?
 
This highly practical session will examine the anatomy of recent cyber breaches and extract the governance and leadership lessons they offer. We’ll also explore how AI, supply chain exposure and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats are reshaping the conversation at the board table and amongst executive teams.
 
You’ll walk away with a clear sense of where your organisation stands – and, most importantly, determine what practical actions you can undertake immediately to strengthen your cyber security, resilience and governance. All this, without a single line of code!
