In tis episode I am joined by Andrew Male who is the Southern Territory Manager at Kinetics Group. Andrew leads the Kinetics business in the South Island and has a deep and varied background across multiple business areas. Kinetics Group (www.kinetics.co.nz) was established over 25 years ago and is an award-winning IT support and solutions company who specialise in supporting medium sized businesses with their IT needs. Andrew talks with me about the ongoing cyber threats faced by NZ businesses in 2025 alongside some of the steps businesses can take to protect themselves from malicious actors. Andrew discusses some salutary real-world situations that bring home the very real threat faced by businesses in the cyber sphere. To say this is no joke is an absolute understatement. Taking cyber risk seriously and tackling it in a meaningful and ongoing way are now non-negotiable for all business owners. It is not a question of if you will get hit it is merely a question of when! If you are worried about these risks or want to understand how you might look to approach them then give this episode a listen.
