Cyber Sips and Security Tips: Stats, stories and real talk on AI and cyber risk
“Most breached organisations reported they have no governance policies in place to manage AI or prevent shadow AI – the use of AI without employer approval or oversight. Both the covert use of shadow AI and the lack of governance are driving up breach costs.” – IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025
Companies are racing to harness AI, but without guardrails, the digital frontier is turning into the wild west. Join us for a laid-back chat (and a drink!) as we swap real-world stories, fresh stats, and practical tips on managing AI risks before they come your way. From governance gaps to good cyber hygiene, we’ll help you lasso those threats and keep your business data safe.
On the agenda:
Our Cyber Sips and Tips series is designed to support local businesses in the Central West with free education sessions, tips and stories in a casual environment. We’ve been running regular events across the region since 2022.
