For our first event of 2019, we are excited to welcome Richard Watson, Lead Partner APAC Cyber
Advisory at Ernst & Young to present Cybersecurity for the Finance Professional.
At a time when cyber risk is becoming one of the most talked about
topics in boardrooms and executive teams, it is important as a finance
professional to be across the latest developments in cybersecurity and have an
awareness of what organisations across Australia are doing to address this
risk. Richard will talk us through some
of the most pressing cyber threats out there, give an overview of what
Australia’s largest organisations are doing to tackle the problem, and
highlight some of the pointers for assessing a cyber uplift investment case.
Richard is the lead Partner in EY’s APAC Cyber practice. He has spent the majority of his 25 year
career in the professional services and IT sectors focused on Cyber Risk and
Cyber Security.
Richard specialises in helping clients understand and protect themselves
from the risk of cyber incidents. His
areas of expertise include cyber risk assessment, technologies for monitoring
and protecting against cyber attack, privacy regulations and managing cyber
incident response.
Richard has worked in a number of industries, focusing on those that have
significant intellectual property to protect, a significant risk of brand
damage from a cyber incident or whose core operations see them dependent on the
digital ecosystem.
Originally from the UK, Richard is based in Sydney but operates throughout
the Asia Pacific region.
