self-assessment tools.Training modules are tailored to broker-specific vulnerabilities and designed for quick, actionable learning. “The cyber training is crafted to be relevant, engaging, and time efficient,” Jackson said. “It emphasises the basics, which remain the cornerstone of good cybersecurity.” The broker response has been strong. Within 15 minutes of launch in April, 150 brokers had already signed up. Over half of those who started completed all modules in a single sitting. “This is not about fear-mongering,” Jackson said.“It’s about preparing brokers for the realities of today’s digital environment.” To support the training, Connective has also released a five-point cybersecurity health check to help brokers strengthen their defences: 1. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA): Use authenticator apps over SMS and never share codes. 2. Strengthen password management: Use a reputable password manager and avoid reusing passwords. 3. Keep systems updated: Install updates and antivirus patches promptly. 4. Improve data control: Know where data lives, restrict access, and use encrypted cloud storage. 5. Mandate cyber awareness training: Ensure all team members are trained to spot and respond to cyber threats. “Education is the first and most critical line of defense,” Jackson added.“This is about giving brokers clear, actionable knowledge.” With this rollout, Connective is setting a new standard for cyber resilience in the broking industry. 10 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 05
