Beyond the Breach: Cyber Governance for Aged Care Boards in an Era of Continuous Disruption
Aged care organisations are increasingly reliant on technology, data, and connected service providers to deliver safe, effective, and person-centred care. At the same time, cyber-attacks, technology outages, privacy incidents, and third-party failures are becoming more frequent and more disruptive.
For many boards, cyber security remains viewed as a technical issue delegated to specialists.
