The federal court judgment in ASIC v RI Advice (RI Advice) marks the first time an Australian court has found an Australian Financial Services Licensee (AFSL) breached its financial licence obligations, for failing to have adequate cybersecurity and cyber-resilience risk management. The judgment marks the elevation of cybersecurity from a technical domain to a board and senior executive risk management issue.
Join our experts Anna Gamvros and Ross Phillipson, as we examine the judgment and explore the implications for directors and executives when it comes to appropriate cybersecurity and cyber-resilience risk management, whether a financial services licensee or not.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the context and decision in RI Advice.
- Understand the implications of RI Advice on directors’ duties and obligations.
- Practical steps to take now and consider in the future.
