Shownotes

Paul Spain speaks with Stephen Phillips, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at Gorilla Technology, about the risks facing New Zealand organisations, from identity theft and convincing phishing messages to deepfakes and vulnerabilities in software.

Stephen shares lessons from telecommunications, banking and cloud technology. He explains why every organisation needs to understand its risk appetite, prioritise resilience and recovery and protect identities. They also discuss how smaller businesses can access effective security protections without the budgets of large enterprises, and why security awareness, careful technology selection and regular testing matter more than ever.

The New Zealand Business Podcast is brought to you by One NZ, Outrun Global and Gorilla Technology.
