One of the fundamental responsibilities of the board is to oversee the risks that can damage reputation or impede shareholder value and impact stakeholders. Given the numerous past high-profile breaches as evidence, cyber security is one of the greatest risks that an organisation faces today, and one of the murkiest and hard to understand. The next major crisis faced by your organisation is most likely to be a cyber crisis.
The Ponemon Institute's 2020 Cost of Data Breach Study revealed the average total cost of data breach of US$3.86 million and that companies are having larger breaches. However, this does not reveal the true cost of such attacks, in terms of lost productivity, lost sales, impacts on brand and reputation, and regulatory sanctions.
According to the 2017 ASX Cyber Security Health Check Report, only 8% of directors say they have a clear understanding of the key controls in the company’s cyber resilience framework, a further 64% have a reasonable understanding. These are significant opportunities for further improvement.
Cyber security is a leading concern from a regulatory, reputational, and contingency standpoint, although it is often not addressed adequately by boards, their committees or executive team. It is difficult to know where to start, and many board members do not have the cyber expertise necessary to deal with today’s high-tech breaches. Today, boards can use advisers like Cyber Risk Advisors to help them provide oversight of cyber risk, and tap the senior executive experience and capabilities.
YOUR KEY CHALLENGES OF COMPLIANCE RISK, RESILIENCE, AND INVESTMENT IN CYBER SECURITY MUST BE EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY DELIVERED FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS AND STAKEHOLDERS
Due to the rapidly changing landscape of cyber adversaries and rising threats coming from trusted insiders, fraudsters, state sponsored entities, and hacktivists, as well as demands of digital business disruptors and increased regulatory and industry compliance requirements – it is increasingly difficult to know what to do to deliver the right outcomes for your organisation.

HELP BUILD OUR NATION'S CAPABILITIES
We beileve Australian organisations must be creative consumers as well as innovators in cyber security. Cyber Risk Advisors works with the new industry-led Australian Government Cyber Security Growth Centre (AGCSC) to strengthen Australia’s cyber security industry to help build our nation’s capabilities. Further, Cyber Risk Advisors acts as a “hub” for our clients to better understand how market leading American (#1) and Israeli (#2) solutions can be used, based on our many years experience.
According to the AGCSC, the global cyber security market is currently worth more than US$71 billion and is growing at around eight per cent a year.
The goal of the Centre is to ensure that Australia is a global industry leader, able to export products and services in the global marketplace while helping Australian businesses and governments to address the growing threat of cyber-crime. Cyber Risk Advisors believes the “coopetition” within and outside of Australia will be a key way in which this market will evolve and that Australian organisations must be creative consumers as well as innovators in this important market.
