Cyber Risk Resilience for Directors.
Director liability in cyber events is real, personal and growing. This two-module series gives boards, directors and business owners the legal and governance knowledge to meet their obligations — and to ask the right questions of management before an incident occurs.
THE PROBLEM
Australian directors are increasingly exposed to personal liability in the aftermath of cyber incidents.
ASIC has made clear that cyber security is a board governance obligation, not a management one. The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 and the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act impose specific duties on organisations — and by extension, on the directors responsible for overseeing them. When a breach occurs and those obligations have not been met, it is directors who face regulatory scrutiny, shareholder claims and reputational consequences.
Most cyber training is built for staff. This course is built for the people who carry governance responsibility — covering the legal frameworks, the governance duties and the practical tools that directors need to exercise proper oversight of cyber risk in their organisations.
