Semperis Unveils Ready1 to Strengthen Cyber Crisis Coordination in Australia
Australian organisations are grappling with a growing frequency of cyber incidents, with 76% reporting major disruptions to critical operations in the past year. Semperis’ global study, The State of Enterprise Cyber Crisis Readiness, underscores a troubling disconnect between perceived readiness and effective response, especially in Australia and New Zealand.
Although 97% of Australian companies have a cyber crisis response plan, inadequate coordination and disjointed processes remain prevalent. Despite regular tabletop exercises, only 43% of Australian organisations involve crucial stakeholders such as finance, HR, and legal in these simulations, missing vital perspectives during crises.
The Semperis Ready1 platform enters the market as a potential game changer, offering structured coordination and speed during cyber crises. Positioned as a comprehensive enterprise resilience tool, it addresses the fragmented nature of existing response strategies and aims to streamline processes across multiple departments.
Marty Momdjian, EVP of Ready1, emphasises that preparation is key, stating, “In moments of crisis, it’s not about rising to the occasion, but falling back on the strength of your preparation.” This quote encapsulates the essence of Ready1’s mission — transforming readiness from theory to actionable practice.
The release of Ready1 signals a proactive step towards bridging the gap between perceived readiness and effective cyber crisis response in Australian organisations, fostering greater coordination and preparedness across all business functions.
