Talking Points
Digital Resilience (For Organisations)
Digital resilience refers to an individual's ability to adapt, navigate, and cope with the challenges and risks that arise in the digital world. It encompasses the skills, knowledge, and mindset necessary to effectively and safely engage with technology, online platforms, and digital information.
In today's digital landscape, digital resilience is more critical than ever. The online world can be fraught with disproportionate levels of abuse and intimidation for people of all ages and stages. Psychological targeting and social engineering schemes are rife, and cyber security threats and scams have reached exponential levels, causing not only
personal harm to individuals but also significant impacts on workplace productivity, diversity, equity, inclusion and governance. This is the current state of play without immersion into the fast-moving metaverse environments of the future and our predicted daily engagement with augmented realities.
The time has passed when organisations can remain passive online now that technology is ubiquitous with our work. Supporting our people in building digital resilience is critical so workplaces can retain their top talent and help them thrive.
Join Yasmin on a transformative journey as she delves into the power of building digital resilience for your teams. In this keynote, Yasmin will uncover the staggering statistics highlighting the challenges people face online and the subsequent toll a lack of digital resilience can have on their wellbeing and professional growth.
Together, you will explore actionable strategies and tools to equip your organisation with the strategies and mindset needed to navigate the digital world safely, and confidently. By addressing the underlying issues that cause online conflict and fostering competence, workplaces can pave the way for teams to step courageously into the spotlight, confidently embrace professional opportunities, achieve equality, and contribute to important DEI&B outcomes.

Building Digital Resilience; a new era in economic empowerment for women
From the early days of computing to the age of AI, women have made significant contributions to the workforce against historic odds. Yet, even years later, a persistent gender gap in digital participation and a growing undercurrent of gender based risk online continue to hinder their progress. Technology Assisted Gender-Based Violence (TAGBV) is a term many don’t fully understand, however it is escalating rapidly. Coupled with a lack of legal recourse and the speed of development of tech, TAGBV is forcing women out of digital spaces, and subsequently, leadership positions, widening the gender parity gap.
Recent statistics from UN Women shockingly state that only 22% of global AI workers are women, and that in Australia, 62% of women in high profile leadership or public facing positions regularly face serious cyber abuse, stalking and intimidation, leading to a phenomenon known as The Silencing Effect-a self-censorship born from relentless online attacks.
As technology increasingly shapes our lives, it is imperative that women can participate safely and confidently. Forward-thinking workplaces recognise that creating safe psychosocial environments, inclusive of the online world, is now paramount to leading the charge in economic empowerment for women. They understand that by building Digital Resilience, they are not just focused on safeguarding systems anymore; they are protecting their people, especially women, and propelling them into positions where they can confidently say, "Count me in."
