Cyber Week 2026 · Joint advisory with ICIB
Don’t make it easy for them: understanding cyber risk in 2026
For Cyber Week 2026, we teamed up with our insurance broking partners at ICIB on a joint client advisory. It brings two views together: how to reduce your cyber risk, and how insurance helps you recover if something gets through.
What’s inside
The current threat landscape
The methods behind most incidents affecting New Zealand businesses, and why small and medium businesses are a frequent target.
How attackers get in
Fake emails that impersonate people you trust, software that hasn’t been updated, and weak points at suppliers and service providers.
Three pillars of cyber resilience
Knowing your real exposure, closing the gaps with proven controls, and moving the financial risk to cyber insurance.
SMB1001 explained
New Zealand’s cyber security standard for small and medium businesses, and how it gives you and your insurer independent proof that your protections go beyond a policy on paper.
What cyber insurance can cover
Incident response, breach notification, legal advice, business interruption and more.
It’s four pages in plain English, written for business owners and leaders, not IT teams.
Security and insurance work better together
Strong security lowers the chance of an incident. Good insurance limits the damage if one happens. Most businesses need both, and they work best when your security partner and your broker are on the same page.
That’s why we’ve partnered with ICIB. Together we can give you a fuller picture of your risk and the practical options to reduce it.
