Cyber Security in Construction: GNZCC Construction Forum Roundtable

The construction sector is now the most cyber-attacked industry globally. As digital systems and supply chains become more interconnected, cyber security can no longer be treated as a generic IT issue.

This roundtable will unpack why the sector is such a high-value target and what that means for businesses operating in New Zealand. Topics include GDPR consent requirements, supply-chain cyber security risks, compliance obligations, and real-world case study examples.

Attendees will gain practical insights into protecting their business, understanding regulatory expectations, and strengthening resilience across their supply chain.

• Guest Chair: Matthew Cutler, Impact Manager – Residential, New Zealand Green Building Council
• Keynote Speakers: Wendy Bennet (Director) and Jan Thornborough (Founder), Outfox Ltd.
