Most cyber incidents don’t begin with a dramatic hack.
They start with something small — a hacked email account, a stolen login, an unsafe application, or a security control everyone assumed was working but nobody had properly tested.
Join Greg Sharp from Nectar, Paul Barge from Kaseya and Tom Lima from ICIB Brokerweb for a practical 45-minute online briefing designed for business leaders who want straight answers about their cyber exposure — without the technical jargon.
In 45 minutes, we’ll unpack:
- How modern attacks actually get into businesses
- What a breach really costs — in downtime, data, reputation and recovery
- The protections that make the greatest difference
- Where cyber insurance fits — and what insurers now expect
- How to know whether your current safeguards would genuinely hold up
What you’ll learn
How attackers get in
Stolen logins, hacked email accounts and the everyday gaps attackers look for first — and why small businesses are firmly in the firing line.
What a breach actually costs
The financial, operational and reputational consequences of an incident — including the recovery costs most businesses never budget for.
The protections that matter most
Keeping control of the devices and applications in your business, and having someone watching for trouble around the clock — and acting on it.
Cyber insurance explained
What cyber insurance does — and doesn’t — cover, what insurers now expect from you, and how to avoid surprises at claim time.
Would your safeguards hold up?
How to establish whether your current protection would genuinely work in an incident, and the questions to ask whoever looks after your IT.
Who should attend
This session is designed for decision-makers responsible for business continuity and risk:
- Business owners
- General managers
- Operations managers
- Finance leaders
- IT managers
No technical background needed — and because it’s online, you can join from anywhere in New Zealand.

Nectar Cyber helps New Zealand businesses strengthen their protection through proactive security, monitoring, education and strategic advice. Greg Sharp, Sales Director, will walk through how attacks get in and the safeguards that make the greatest difference.
