Shaheen Evans

Chief People and Risk Officer Border Express

Conference Day One: Tuesday, 10th March 2020

12:20 PM There is no Such Thing as Cyber Risk - Removing Threats in your Organisation by Improving Controls and Responding to Human Vulnerabilities

In order to prevent today’s advanced cyber-attacks and threats, businesses need to clearly articulate the risk event (many get this wrong) and understand and adopt a people-centric technology risk management strategy. Many organizations’ information security and compliance strategies focus on managing endpoints and system vulnerabilities, but struggle to protect against the human aspect of threats.

In this session, Shaheen will draw upon his experiences at the Bureau of Meteorology and at his current role at Border Express to discuss how businesses must focus on not only the information data and technology aspects, but also the people who use and respond to these risk events.

  • Simplifying risk language i.e the ‘risk event’ thereby engaging with key business stakeholders
  • Developing a formalised threat program/model to prevent, detect and minimise risks from being realised
  • Recognising the human aspect such as human bias to technology and incorporating this into the business/response plan

4:20 PM Addressing the Problem of Limited Resources and Competing Priorities in Technology Risk Management

  • Encourage collaboration within the various IT teams to support more effective technology risk management outcomes
  • Implementation of agile working across organizational operations
