Completion rates and click rates are not outcomes — true success is measured by lasting behavioural change across the workforce.   From weakest link to scalable defence: When implemented properly, SAT transforms employees from the biggest risk into the most effective line of defence. The goal is not to identify who failed, but to build consistent, organisation‑wide decision making under pressure. What good actually looks like: Effective programmes focus on reducing repeat clickers, increasing reporting rates, and improving response speed over time. These indicators show whether staff are learning how to act, not just completing training. Frank De Pasquale (CEO & Founder, Tekspace) Focus: What effective security awareness training looks like in practice Behaviour over memorisation: Frank emphasised that effective training builds instinctive responses, not theoretical knowledge. In a real attack, staff need to rely on learned behaviours, not remembered rules. Engagement drives outcomes: The success of SAT depends on user engagement. If the experience is intuitive, relevant, and personalised, organisations will see measurable improvements in behaviour and risk reduction. Modern SAT Is data‑driven and adaptive: Leading platforms continuously analyse user behaviour, build dynamic risk profiles, and tailor simulations and training accordingly. This closed‑loop approach is what enables real, sustained behaviour change. - [AI in Cyber](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinar-replays/ai-in-cyber/): Focus: The Threat Landscape and Technical Reality - [Work smarter with Copilot](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinar-replays/work-smarter-with-copilot/): Krishneel Kumar Effective Prompting: Demonstrated the "Prompt Coach" in the unified Copilot screen (Teams Chat) as an agent that analyses and improves prompts based on four core foundations: goal, context, audience, and expectation.

PowerPoint Creation with Templates: Showed the new process for creating a PowerPoint presentation using Copilot via File > Create with Copilot, which now allows users to apply custom corporate design templates via an organisational asset library.

When a major cyber incident occurs, boards must have a tested incident response plan, remain calm, and have a clear script to brief stakeholders. In an environment where threats are constantly evolving, defenses must be consistently improving, and organizations must progressively increase their security posture. Murray Strong A key to cyber resilience is having the capability to monitor and "hunt" for bad actors who may already be inside or attempting to breach your organization. Boards should expand their understanding of cyber risk and define their risk appetite to determine the necessary level of reporting and investment. The importance of conducting incident response simulations with the board and executive team to prepare for the first 24 hours of an attack. Gordon Armstrong Many SMEs in New Zealand lack cybersecurity knowledge and need to proactively seek out the necessary expertise to embed it into their business strategy. Boards should receive quarterly reports detailing the number of thwarted attacks to make the threat feel real and not just a "conceptual problem". Everyone in an organisation has a responsibility for cybersecurity and that the human element is often the weakest link, making education and training crucial. Daniel McIvor Cybersecurity is a major business challenge and that leaders must be decision-makers to build organizational resilience. A recent survey showing that nearly half of boards are not receiving cybersecurity reports, making it difficult to measure risk, have board-level discussions, and secure funding for protection. CodeBlue's "Risk Aware" service is a solution to provide businesses with visibility into cyber risks and a roadmap for strengthening security. - [Transforming nonprofit organisations with Microsoft technology](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinar-replays/transforming-nonprofit-organisations-with-microsoft-technology/): Amelia Reinecke Microsoft Cloud for Non-profits The Microsoft cloud for non-profits is a component of the broader Microsoft Cloud for Industry, built on a foundation of security management and compliance. It includes components like Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Dynamics, which can be extended with co-developer tools like Copilot Studio to meet an organization's specific needs. Non-profit Accelerators and Solutions The "non-profit accelerator" has been broken down into smaller components focusing on engaging supporters and funders, and impactful program delivery. Solutions for engaging supporters include fundraising and grant management, powered by Power Apps and Power BI, to help manage donors, track fundraising effectiveness, and build stronger relationships with funders. For impactful program delivery, solutions are available for volunteer management, volunteer engagement portals, and outcomes management systems, which help track volunteer progress, manage services for individuals, and report back to funders on community impact. Cybersecurity in the Non-profit Sector A recent Asia-Pacific study found that 19% of non-profits reported a cybersecurity incident in the past year, highlighting the need for secure data management. Having a secure, stable platform like Microsoft Azure is essential for ensuring the safety of sensitive data about beneficiaries and volunteers and for enabling future growth. Real-world Example Amelia shared a case study about a non-profit with 700 staff and over 200 managed houses, where her team built a full partner management system on a Dynamics 365 model-driven app. This solution extensively manages health and safety, incidents, shift notes, and individual goals for the people they support. Matt Bourne Changes in Microsoft Non-profit Licensing The 10 free Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses for non-profits have been removed, but Microsoft now offers a 75% discount on these licenses, bringing the cost to $9.35 NZD per user per month. Microsoft has also introduced a 15% discount for non-profits on the full versions of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot for Sales, and Copilot for Service. The Power Apps "per user" plan has been discontinued and replaced with a more affordable "per app" plan for non-profits and commercial customers. Importance of Data Security and Compliance Data security and compliance involve a set of standards and policies for managing and securing information, which helps prevent data breaches and protects a company's reputation. Tools like Microsoft Purview can help organizations monitor their compliance with standards such as GDPR. Dispelling Cybersecurity Myths A common misconception is that a company or country is "too small" to be a target, but the speed of the internet means hackers can access information from anywhere in the world in less than a second. The goal of good data security is to put enough roadblocks in place to deter attackers from even trying to breach a system. Security Practices Every business should implement multi-factor authentication (MFA), which is available through Microsoft Entra ID and can be configured with conditional access to control how and when staff can access information. It is crucial to have layered security, which involves multiple defensive measures (like deadbolts on doors and an alarm system) rather than relying on a single entry point like a firewall. The Value of a Technology Roadmap A technology roadmap should align with business goals and values, rather than forcing the business to adapt to the technology. The team used a technology roadmap to show a non-profit client the value of their IT and how it could help them achieve their company's vision, leading to the board greenlighting projects to improve their infrastructure. - [How to manage cyber risk](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinar-replays/how-to-manage-cyber-risk/): Mathew Jose (CodeBlue) Cybercrime landscape According to CERT NZ, the reported financial loss from cyber incidents was $20 million in 2022, but this figure is considered only the "tip of the iceberg" due to non-mandatory reporting. The top three reported incidents in 2023 were phishing/credential harvesting, unauthorized access, and scams/fraud. Globally, cybercrime is an enormous industry, with costs expected to reach $10.5 trillion in 2025. IBM reports that 80% of current cyberattacks are carried out by organized crime syndicates. The financial impacts of cyber incidents on Australian and New Zealand companies, such as Optus and Health New Zealand, have run into the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Risk management fundamentals Risk is defined as the likelihood of a threat actor exploiting a vulnerability, while risk appetite is an organization's willingness to accept that risk. The risk management process is a five-step cycle: identify, analyze, evaluate, treat, and monitor. Monitoring is a continuous process as risks are not stationary. A risk can be treated in four ways: avoid the activity entirely, accept the risk, share the risk with a third party (e.g., insurance), or mitigate the risk to reduce its likelihood and impact. Ransomware and protection Ransomware typically begins with a user clicking a phishing link or visiting a malicious website, which initiates a download and infects the machine. Antivirus software is no longer sufficient for protection against modern ransomware; a tool using behavioral and anomaly detection, like Managed EDR, is necessary. CodeBlue's services CodeBlue's RiskAware package is a bundled offering that includes dark web monitoring, risk assessment workshops, and external attack surface monitoring. A key goal of these services is to provide a quantified risk position for an organization, helping them understand their potential financial loss (e.g., $3k, $17M, $2M) to make better cybersecurity decisions. Fraser Walker (Emergence Insurance) Cybercrime as an industry Cybercrime is an exceptionally well-organized industry, approaching $8 trillion in criminal proceeds, which is more than the global drug trade combined. The threat actors are not "lone wolves" but vast, intricate syndicates, with services like "ransomware as a service" available on the dark web. Cyber insurance and claims Emergence is New Zealand's only standalone cyber insurer, backed by Lloyd's of London. The cyber insurance claim process is a high-stakes, intense environment where every second counts. Insurers can get digital forensics and incident response teams involved within minutes of a call to stop the bleeding, even before a claim is formally accepted. Incident response costs make up two-thirds of claims costs and cover things like public relations, lawyers, and digital forensics to manage internal and external communications during a live breach. Ransomware and extortion Ransomware attacks are highly sophisticated, with groups like Royal Ransom and Black Cat using tactics like encrypting data, exfiltrating sensitive information, escalating administrative privileges, and even bugging backups. They may also use "printer bombs" to print sensitive documents and even make phone calls to victims to demand payment. In a ransomware attack, the decision to pay a ransom depends on the specifics of the case, such as the type of data compromised, and should be considered on its own merit. Cyber insurance coverage Cyber insurance covers three main areas: first-party losses (business interruption, reputational harm, ransom costs), third-party losses (lawsuits, regulatory fines), and incident response costs. Optional covers can be added for things like contingent business interruption (if a third-party IT provider is hacked) and criminal financial loss extensions for social engineering or cyber theft. Improving cybersecurity posture Insurers are becoming more proactive and expect businesses to take steps to improve their cybersecurity posture. Simple, low-cost actions like disabling macros, testing backups, and implementing the "principle of least privilege" can make a business less appealing to threat actors. Advanced measures like Managed EDR, security information and event management (SIEM), and penetration testing are things that will be viewed favorably by insurers, potentially leading to premium relief. - [Future proof your business](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinar-replays/future-proof-your-business-webinar/): Kane McGhie (Dicker Data) Challenges and security Small and medium businesses face challenges with distributed work environments, which makes securing their systems more difficult. Ransomware attacks are a significant threat, with a 300% increase and 50% targeting small businesses. Windows 10 End-of-Life A major challenge on the horizon is the Windows 10 end-of-life on October 14, which means Microsoft will no longer patch vulnerabilities. After this date, attackers are expected to release vulnerabilities that have been stockpiled, with a muted response from Microsoft. Microsoft 365 Business Premium Microsoft 365 Business Premium is an attractive and cost-effective option for small to medium businesses, providing enterprise-grade security by taking a layered approach. The suite includes productivity tools like Loop for collaboration, OneDrive for file sharing, and Clipchamp for video editing, alongside a robust security suite. Modern device management and deployment Modern device management with Microsoft Intune allows for the management of any device (laptops, desktops, servers) and provides a "live build" to ensure devices remain "secure by design" over time. Intune's Autopilot feature enables the configuration of a device directly from the factory, providing security from day one without a traditional image-based build process. A recommended Windows 11 deployment process involves inventory, package preparation, a phased rollout to pilot users, and continuous feedback for improvement. Data protection and AI Microsoft Purview provides tools to place restrictions on how data leaves the environment, such as encrypting emails and protecting data within Teams messages. Business Premium allows for the safe and secure use of AI tools like Copilot by helping identify, protect, and encrypt sensitive data. He also warns that New Zealand is only at about 50% of the replacement rate needed to upgrade all Windows 10 devices by the deadline, which could lead to resource and supply chain issues. Matt Bourne (CodeBlue) CodeBlue services CodeBlue offers specialist services in areas like Microsoft Modern Workplace strategies, Azure cloud solutions, and process automation. The new Microsoft Azure Data Center in New Zealand provides better access and data residency, making virtual desktops and cloud-native hosting more viable options. Data governance and compliance With the increased use of AI, understanding data governance requirements and protecting business information is becoming a major issue, especially with new laws based on Europe's GDPR standards on the horizon. Microsoft Purview, DLP, and information protection are included in Business Premium, but advanced, automated features require an E5 license or a compliance add-on. Technology management Technology tools, including those in Microsoft Business Premium, require ongoing configuration, monitoring, and service, similar to how a car needs regular maintenance. He advises against simply clicking the update button for Windows 11 without first checking for application compatibility, as it can cause fundamental changes to the system and potential issues with configurations, such as VPNs and printer drivers. Copilot licensing Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a personal productivity tool and is purchased on a per-person basis. For an enterprise-level Copilot, options like Copilot agents can be created for specific organizational functions and can be licensed based on a consumption model or included for users with a Copilot license. - [From data governance to powerful insights](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinar-replays/from-data-governance-to-powerful-insights-webinar/): Irene Direnko-Smith Introduction to data governance Data governance is presented as a crucial topic for innovation, improved business processes, and the effective use of AI, despite not always being seen as exciting. The overall goal of the webinar is to help Kiwi businesses work smarter by navigating compliance and unlocking business intelligence. Matt Bourne Defining data governance Data governance is a framework of policies, roles, and processes designed to provide guidelines for data security, governance, access, and usage. Importance of data governance Effective data governance is essential to prevent "messy data," which can lead to inaccurate reports and difficulty in finding information. Leadership buy-in, including investment of time, money, and effort, is critical for the success of any data governance initiative. Data growth and challenges The amount of data created globally is experiencing explosive growth, with a prediction of 175 zettabytes of new data in 2025 alone, significantly accelerated by factors like AI and the rapid shift to digital during COVID-19. Key challenges to data governance include data being dispersed across numerous platforms and applications, inconsistencies caused by user error due to a lack of standards, potential data loss during transfers, and the issue of "shadow IT" where company data is stored on uncontrolled personal services. Solutions and tools Microsoft Purview is highlighted as a cutting-edge tool for records and data management, intelligent structuring, and identifying compliance issues, offering features like data classification, retention, and prevention of data loss. Amelia Reinecke Data as a strategic asset Data is increasingly considered the "new currency," emphasizing its critical importance for businesses in terms of security, availability, and accessibility. Utilizing current data can provide new insights, enable better future decision-making, and drive improved business outcomes. Data in the AI era The rise of AI tools like Copilot agents and Copilot Studio is blurring the lines between different data systems, as agents can access and consolidate information from various business applications, making robust security, privacy, and compliance paramount. Security concerns and protection A significant concern for early AI adopters is the lack of visibility and protection for organizational data when using generative AI. Protecting sensitive data involves implementing labeling, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, and audit logs, especially within business applications like Dynamics 365. Data lifecycle management Data lifecycle management is crucial, categorizing data into active (readily accessible), inactive (historical retained records), and deleted data (no longer needed). Effective data retention strategies are necessary not only for compliance but also for cost savings, as data storage can be extremely expensive. - [Demystifying Copilot, agents, and AI](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinar-replays/demystifying-copilot-agents-and-ai-boost-productivity-with-microsofts-ai-tools/): Matt Bourne: Personal productivity with AI Copilot vs. Chat GPT: Matt highlighted that Copilot keeps you in the flow of work, accessing your emails, Teams messages, and other Microsoft environment info. It acts as an assistant, tutor, and creator, unlike Chat GPT, which requires you to move information around. Copilot capabilities: Microsoft Copilot can summarise emails and communications, help you reword emails for different audiences, and draft documents or blog posts from existing content. What are the types of Copilot: Matt explained the different types: unified copilot (accessing all your info across applications), application-specific copilots (understanding the information within the application, like Excel), and mobile copilots (available on the Microsoft 365 app and Outlook). How to create AI prompts: To get the best results from Copilot, it's important to give it plenty of information, including your goal, context, sources, and desired output. Demos: Matt showcased Copilot's abilities in Outlook (rewriting emails), Word (drafting guidelines and blog posts), and Excel (analysing data and suggesting formulas). Amelia Reinecke: Organisational productivity with AI AI Agents vs. Copilots: Amelia explained that agents are an extension of Copilot, designed to automate specific business functions. They can work independently or be triggered by a Copilot. What is Copilot Studio: This is where you build Copilots and agents, sitting within the Power Platform ecosystem. AI agent capabilities: Agents can retrieve information, perform tasks (like timesheets and expense claims), and even autonomously do things (though this is still in preview). Types of AI agent: Amelia described retrieval agents (finding information), task agents (performing actions), and autonomous agents (working independently). Copilot for sales, service, and finance: These agents help streamline processes and improve efficiency in specific areas, integrating with various applications like Salesforce, Zendesk, and SAP. Customisation: Copilot Studio allows you to customise and extend existing Copilots and agents or build your own. Key takeaways Copilot is a powerful tool for both personal and organisational productivity, helping you work smarter and faster. Data governance is crucial when using AI, ensuring your information is managed and controlled effectively. Training is essential to help staff get the most out of Copilot. Microsoft is continually developing new AI tools and features, like agent boss, which will further enhance productivity. ## Webinars - [Transforming nonprofit organisations with Microsoft technology](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinars/transforming-nonprofit-organisations-with-microsoft-technology/): Nonprofits face unique challenges in managing operations, engaging supporters, and maximising resources —but the right technology can make a difference. - [Demystifying Copilot, Agents, and AI](https://codeblue.co.nz/webinars/demystifying-copilot-agents-and-ai/): As part of CodeBlue and FUJILFILM Process Automation ongoing commitment to knowledge sharing, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming webinar on either May 29th or June 3rd. ## Guides - [Join the CodeBlue Copilot Readiness Community](https://codeblue.co.nz/guides/join-the-codeblue-copilot-readiness-community/) - [Your guide to the Strategic Technology Roadmap](https://codeblue.co.nz/guides/your-guide-to-the-strategic-technology-roadmap/): We take the time to understand your unique requirements.
