Understanding the Drivers of Technology Risk Management and the Benefits of an Effectively Embedded Risk Management Strategy

As the Queensland Government’s central financing authority, Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) plays a pivotal role in securing the State’s financial success. With a focus on whole-of-State outcomes, QTC provides a range of financial services to the State and its public sector entities, including local governments.

In an effort to deliver optimal financial outcomes through sound funding and financial risk management QTC, like most modern organisations is harnessing new technologies and data analytics to increase decision making capability and drive improved client outcomes.

While new technologies revolutionise how we do business and offer incredible benefits to organisations, a reliance on technology also increases risk exposure, cyber security threats and the potential for data breaches, which is why QTC has worked hard to develop and embed a proactive technology and security risk management framework and culture.

Ahead of the Technology Risk Management Summit 2020 we spoke to David Chantler, Head of Information Security and Technology Risk at QTC. David shares insight into emerging technology risk challenges and delves into how QTC has embedded a new strategy and organisational culture to help overcome these.
