Lumen Technologies’ recent cyber risk simulation exercises across Australia and the broader APAC region have identified consistent patterns of risk across critical infrastructure, financial services, energy, and other vital industries.
These patterns are no longer purely technical or IT-centric issues; they are operational, commercial, and cultural risks that now land directly with boards, CEOs, risk leaders, and senior executives.
In this session on Thursday, 26 March at 11 am AEDT, Lumen Technologies and Akela Group will outline the top recurring cyber risks they see across simulations and incidents and share pragmatic steps leaders can take to improve readiness.
Key Themes That Will Be Covered
- Supply Chain Fragility
Long, complex vendor and offshore chains continue to expose organisations to cascading failures. The panel will discuss how to clarify accountability, map dependencies and build resilience. - Delayed Recognition of Cyber Events
Across multiple sectors, early warning signs are still mistaken for routine technical issues. The panel will explore how leaders can ensure that anomalies are escalated early and contextualised. - Slow Forensics and Investigation
Lengthy escalation paths and approval workflows often delay incident response at the exact moment speed matters most. The panel will unpack how organisations can enable faster investigation, preserve evidence and reduce dwell time. - Visibility Gaps in OT and Legacy Systems
Critical systems—especially older industrial and operational environments—continue to run with limited monitoring. The panel will highlight practical steps to gain visibility without risking operational disruption. - Crisis Communication Misalignment
Legal, communications, operations and cyber teams may operate in silos during incidents, creating confusion and delay. The panel will discuss approaches that unify these teams.
