We are delighted to share Issue 9 of our Cyber, Privacy + Technology Report – our quarterly wrap-up of relevant news for insurers, brokers and their customers doing business in Australia and New Zealand in the cyber, privacy and technology fields.

It’s been an eventful start to FY25 with a number of significant regulatory developments. In our September issue, we delve into the Scam Code Act on the horizon, share an update on the expected ransom reporting bill and the proposed new cybersecurity laws, and cover the information-sharing MOU between ASIC and the OAIC.

In the privacy space, we unpack the long-awaited first tranche of reforms to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and deep dive into the MediSecure breach and its implications. With AI at the centre of a series of government proposals and policies over recent weeks, we provide an overview of the new AI Policy, proposed guardrails, and upcoming standard for AI transparency statements.
