Webinar  |  AI Governance & Cyber Risk # AI Risk Is Now a Board Issue.What APRA, ASIC, and Five EyesAre Telling ANZ Leaders to Do About It. Watch the Webinar Replay None of these are discussion papers. None are optional. Taken together, they represent the clearest signal yet that AI governance has moved from an IT responsibility to a board imperative. 30 April 2026 APRA Letter to Industry APRA called for a step change in AI risk management and governance across all regulated entities, covering banks, insurers, and superannuation trustees. Enforcement action flagged for non-compliance. 8 May 2026 ASIC Open Letter on Frontier AI ASIC's letter to AFS licensees and market participants must be tabled at every board and risk governance committee. It sets explicit expectations on cyber resilience fundamentals in the AI era. 22 June 2026 Five Eyes Call to Action The heads of ASD, NCSC NZ, NCSC UK, CISA, and NSA issued a joint statement: AI is accelerating threats at a pace measured in months. Boards and executives are the intended audience. A practical, no-jargon breakdown of every directive, what it requires of your organisation, and the clearest path forward for boards and leadership teams in Australia and New Zealand. 01 The Five Eyes Call to Action What the joint statement from ASD, NCSC NZ, NCSC UK, CISA, and NSA actually says, why "months not years" is the most important phrase in it, and what it requires of ANZ leadership teams right now. 02 APRA's AI Letter: The Four Observation Areas A detailed walkthrough of what APRA found across regulated entities: AI-specific cyber attack vectors, board literacy expectations, supplier concentration risk, and why point-in-time assurance is no longer adequate for probabilistic AI systems. Plus: the enforcement signal. 03 ASIC's Frontier AI Letter: What Boards Must Do ASIC requires its letter to be tabled at every board. We cover what that board conversation should look like, the FIIG Securities enforcement precedent that sets the bar, and how ASIC and APRA's directives work together. 04 The EU AI Act: Why It Matters in Australia and New Zealand High-risk AI obligations activate 2 August 2026. Extraterritorial reach means ANZ organisations with EU customers or EU-market vendors are already in scope. We explain the practical implications. 05 What Good Governance Looks Like and How to Get There How ISO 42001 maps to every framework covered in this webinar. The five questions every board should be asking its leadership team. A practical roadmap for mid-market organisations in Australia and New Zealand. Live Q&A with the Insicon Cyber advisory team.
