Kestrel Breakfast Talk

The cyber security challenge, is your organisation prepared?

In June, we hosted guest speaker Paul Ash, of the National Cyber Policy Office. Paul talked about the constantly evolving cyber security challenge, what New Zealand is doing about it, and what you can do to protect your business. Also Kestrel’s Karen Stephens spoke on how you can be better prepared for such events. The topic of Cyber security was very interesting and provided many talking points.
