UNSW Interview: Simone Herbert-Lowe’s mission to make Australia cyber-resilient
As a lawyer of 30 years, Simone Herbert-Lowe knew cybercrime was a major threat
In her more than three decades as a lawyer, Simone Herbert-Lowe has witnessed in real-time how fraud has evolved from forged documents and fake signatures, often involving people who knew each other, to scams by faceless, nameless operatives in the digital world.
For 20 years, Simone worked at Lawcover – a company that provides professional indemnity insurance policies to NSW law practices. In that time, her interest moved from fraud in different types of legal transactions to cyber fraud.
