Managing mandatory reporting and reputation

HACKED - Managing Personal and Company Reputation under Mandatory Reporting

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 data-breach reporting begins in February 2018. 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 a company needs 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 the new law will 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 an organisation can do to help protect their reputation in the event of a cyber breach, and how can trust be rebuilt following a public data-breach.
