Overview
Whether you are 'not technical' or a software engineering guru, technology pervades the business day. Responding to emails, being tagged on the company chat, posting to socials, writing reports — you are constantly online and engaging with systems. Understanding how organisations can safely harness the power of technology is essential to navigate an evolving landscape with increased cybersecurity challenges.
A key risk for senior stakeholders and boards is the use of proxies when reading reports or making decisions about technology. Get the proxy wrong, and a chain of events can ensue which may lead to a notifiable data breach, such as the Optus data breach.
With over a decade of experience in IT management, I keep my finger on the technology pulse and write about the governance challenges facing stakeholders — be it the rise of AI or changes to the Australian Privacy Act.
