Global
Featuring experts from across our global network, our Panel includes partners Andrew Procter (London), Hannah Cassidy (Hong Kong), Charlotte Henry and Peter Jones (Sydney), and Merryn Quayle & Harry Edwards (Melbourne).
This session provides an overview of the Australian regulator’s expectations of regulated Australian financial services entities, including in relation to information and cybersecurity, a summary of the UK/European/Hong Kong and Singaporean regulatory positions which we expect to trickle down to Australia, some practical tips on approaches to regulatory investigations in the event of a critical systems failure (eg cyber or ransomware attack), and finishes with an overview of the trend towards targeted ransomware demands, and the legality of those payments in Australia.
