Embarking on year 4, the Risk Roundtable jumps two feet into 2023 by talking through the various physical and cyber threats that continue to present challenges. Jen opened up the discussion covering the latest breaches with password managers, fast food restaurants and even platforms that seem to be unbreakable. Matching Jen, Dave covers the wide variety of physical security threats and environmental considerations that organizations are already dealing with this year to include critical infrastructure concerns (power stations, solar plants), terrorism, and environmental factors, to include understanding the role that politics can have in the workplace. Before moving to the roulette round Andy led a discussion about the importance of preparedness in this complex environment and the risk of not evaluating these incidents and taking appropriate action.
Jen then talked about the news and cyber implications around ChatGPT, as well as ensuring organizations are aware of some upcoming timelines such as the end of support for Windows 7 (yes, it is still being used). Dave transitioned and talked about Bridget Johnson’s latest piece on 7 Terrorism Trends for 2023 before Andy wrapped up with the ever-popular three questions.
