This morning the CONSTRUCT GF attended the Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions panel discussion on cybersecurity – lots of valuable insights shared by the experts. A few key takeaways that really stood out: ·     Threats are evolving fast; ransomware, supply-chain breaches, and AI-driven attacks are on the rise. ·    People remain the weakest link; phishing and social engineering are still the leading causes of incidents. ·     Shift to zero trust & resilience; the focus is less on building higher walls and more on how quickly we can detect, respond, and recover. ·     Regulation is tightening; stronger governance and proactive compliance are now essential. ·     Leadership & culture matter; cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, but a board-level business risk. ·     AI is a double-edged sword; helping with defence but also making attackers smarter. The panel left no doubt: effective cybersecurity requires awareness, collaboration, and resilience across every level of the organisation.
