About this event
Join the Gold Coast Chapter for a two course meal as they are joined by a panel of cyber and cyber insurance experts to explore the current cyber threat landscape, and what businesses need to look at in 2022 in terms of cyber risk mitigation. Relevant for CIOs, CISOs, CEOs and business leaders generally, we will explore emerging cyber threats, discuss the right cybersecurity systems and tools to have in place and will also take a deep dive into the topical area of cyber insurance which is becoming an increasing challenge for businesses across the board. We will also discuss how to pitch cybersecurity to your Board to prioritise.
