One of the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic is that we will neglect other risks. They have not gone away! Indeed, the likelihood of their occurrence may have increased. Cybercrime is the most obvious current example. Whilst I have not seen any data, my perception is of more increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks.

Why haven’t I written anything on COVID-19, I am asked? The answer is straightforward. For the most part, I have colleagues in Noetic who have more experience of epidemics and BCP. I also see the professional institutions active in this space too – such as the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS). The AIHS have two webinars alone this week on these topics.
