The recent Qantas cyber breach exposed a troubling trend in corporate accountability. While hackers accessed sensitive data, the airline’s executives still received performance bonuses, raising questions about the alignment of incentives and true cyber risk management.
Cyberattacks are no longer hypothetical risks – they directly affect operational integrity, customer trust, and financial stability. Yet, many organizations reward executives based on traditional KPIs without factoring in cybersecurity resilience. This misalignment can encourage underinvestment in protective measures and leave companies dangerously exposed.
Human factors remain the most exploited vulnerability. Employees, from entry-level to management, are the gateway for social engineering, phishing, and insider threats. Without a proactive strategy, even well-funded IT defenses cannot fully protect an organization.
