How we can help
The ability for an organisation to build resilience and defend with confidence against the potential for cyber attacks is reliant on having strong leadership and effective governance at the most senior levels.
Boards and executive leadership teams are ultimately accountable and responsible for establishing this cyber aware ethos, creating an environment that embraces resilience, and is enabling and supportive of those in the organisation tasked with building capable cyber risk management practices.
The regulatory landscape in Australia no longer tolerates corporate leadership that is not taking steps to be cyber aware and proactive.
-
Boards and Executive Leadership Teams need to stay current on cyber issues that are external to their organisation, particularly threats and risks that are relevant to their industry, sector and the geographical jurisdiction in which they operate.
Regular, external and independent cyber threat and risk briefings have become a key tool for Boards to stay up to date on current and emerging cyber threats and risks, and also helps demonstrate to Regulators and other stakeholders that they are taking the risk seriously.
-
Some Boards and Executive Leadership Teams desire or require a greater level of detail about their personal and business interest exposure to cyber threats from external sources.
This information takes the form of targeted personal and brand threat analysis specific to cyber threats being cultivated on the dark web, presented through a set of threat and attack diagnostics specific to an individual(s) and their business interests, taking the view of a potential attacker.
-
At least annually, Boards and Executive Leadership Teams need to train themselves for the difficult, that one in a hundred moment when their business is impacted by a significant cyber event and needs to execute with confidence, skill and experience.
Boards and Executive teams that dedicate uninterrupted time to participation in immersive cyber simulations, as opposed to a 1 hour presentation or informal discussion by consultants, will be much better placed to successfully navigate a high impact and high profile cyber event.
-
In the event of a significant Cyber event, Boards and Executive teams need more than just technical assistance. They need access to a person or team that can straddle both the business impact and the technical impact and assist in the making of informed decisions that need to be fast, flexible and as accurate as possible.
Many ICT technical teams have put in place DFIR retainers for on demand, immediate support from highly specialised technical teams for when an incident happens. Boards and Executive teams need to contemplate their own support requirements in these circumstances, when they need to immediately execute crisis management activities whilst also performing their day jobs.
