Cyber risk attracts a lot of headlines; it deserves to. Cyber is one of the most acute risks facing Australian businesses, and it is only going to increase as criminals get easier access to more sophisticated tools, and Australia’s mandatory databreach reporting begins in February 2018.
The law will apply to private organisations that have an annual turnover of more than $3 million, societies or associations and certain associations concerning the resolution of industrial disputes.
A failure to notify, that is found to constitute a serious interference with privacy under the Privacy Act, may result in a fine of up to AU$360,000 for individuals or AU$1.8 million for organisations.
Cybersecurity is a leadership concern mainly due to the rapidly-evolving nature of cybercrime and its enormous costs, from financial through to reputational.
When breaches do happen, lawmakers and customers want accountability.
Have you and your senior management team / board thought about this issue and planned for it?
Prior to the introduction of the new cyber laws, join us to discuss how these changes could impact your reputation and brand, what preparations you can still make, and the future of cyber risk mitigation.
Our panel will discuss –
- What does a company need to do from 22 February 2018 to comply with mandatory reporting requirements, and how might a poorly managed data breach have serious implications for the board?
- How will the new law serve as a force for growth and innovation, encouraging organisations to adopt more rigorous data protection protocols and modernise their business practices for a data-driven world?
- What can an organisation do to help protect their reputation in the event of a cyber breach, and how can trust be rebuilt following a public data-breach?
