Following recent Data Breaches in Australia and New Zealand, the BCI Australasian Chapter invites you to a fireside chat we’ve aptly titled ‘What the Hack’.
This event will be held both online and in person at the offices of our host CyberCX at 2 Market St Sydney between 2-3pm AEDT Thursday 8th December 2022. Drinks and food will follow for those able to attend in person between 3-4pm.
We will cover a number of topics, including:
• How do we best prepare for cyber attacks / data breaches that involve multiple teams and plans? How do we make sure these plans are aligned? How we do we even understand the plans when they are technical (IT DR) or not easily accessible (Crisis Communications Plans).
• What is the role of a Business Continuity / Resilience professionals in a cyber attack / data breach when other teams are heavily involved (including technical IT Recovery Teams, Business Continuity Teams, Crisis Communications Teams and Crisis Management Teams).
• What is the best way to communicate during a data breach and how do we get it right from the get-go when we have such limited information available to us? What is our role in this as a resilience professional when we have limited influence over what is and isn’t communicated?
The following Cyber and Communications experts will make up the fireside chat:
• Wasim Malik – Principal Consultant GRC - CyberCX (session facilitator).
• Simon Jordan – Managing Director – Resilient IT NZ
• Fiona Robinson Morey – Strategic Advisor – Office of the Dept of Conservation NZ
