    Congratulations on publishing Brian O’Donnell’s thoughts. I’m sure many people are well aware of the issues around climate and financial risks but here in Australia we are sadly mostly unaware of the real impact of cyber risk.
    For example, cybercrime is the No.1 economic crime in Australia and PWC found that 65% of Australian organisations experienced cybercrime in the past 24 months which is twice the global average. Clearly this is a serious risk for super funds and their members who should be asking what is being done about it.
    Trustee boards should be asking those responsible what is or isn’t being done to address this very potentially damaging issue.
