Building Cyber Resilience for Quantity Surveyors
11 August @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm AEST
Free
As a trusted third party in the construction supply chain, Quantity Surveyors hold valuable and sensitive data, making them a prime target for cybercriminals. Join Certified Cyber Insurance Specialist Roy Chen to hear him discuss cyber risks and resilience, stripping away the tech jargon to focus on the commercial reality of a cyber incident.
Corporate regulators like ASIC have recently issued urgent warnings about AI increasing the risk of cyber threats, reminding all company directors that cyber is no longer just an IT issue, it’s a critical business risk. With 84% of Australian small businesses experiencing a cyber incident last year, pure IT security isn’t enough. True resilience requires immediate financial resources to respond, technical experts available at a moment’s notice, and a clear roadmap to recovery.
Because maintaining a 24/7 internal crisis team is not commercially viable, we will explore how cyber insurance bridges this gap. Learn how a robust policy protects your balance sheet by funding emergency forensics, covering business interruption, managing regulatory compliance, and protecting against Social Engineering Fraud when EFT payments are intercepted.
