AI deepfakes, email security risks, and the single action to take tomorrow

In this extended final episode of our Cyber Resilience series, Aron Robertson answers real questions from business owners just like you. 

From AI-powered deepfakes to managing employee mobile devices, from understanding the Notifiable Data Breach scheme to the uncomfortable truth about email security, this Q&A session covers the practical concerns and tough questions that keep business owners up at night. Aron provides honest, detailed answers that cut through the confusion and give you clear next steps.

• Device management: Should we require phones and tablets to be managed corporate devices? (Risk assessment framework)
• Notifiable Data Breach scheme explained: What triggers a reportable breach? Who do you notify? What is the "harm" test?
• ISO 27001 certification: Will it soon be required for professional services firms? (Spoiler: It's already happening in government tenders)
• The first action to take tomorrow: What's the single most important step to strengthen your defences?
• Email security reality check: How unsecure is email really? Should you avoid sending personal data via email?
• Supply chain risk: Why your client's poor security becomes your problem
