The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and Australian Securities and Investments Commission have published notes from two June 2026 roundtables with superannuation chief executives focused on frontier artificial intelligence, cyber and operational resilience, and crisis preparedness. The discussions reinforce the regulators’ recent emphasis on turning awareness of AI-enabled threats into effective governance, tested controls and recovery arrangements. Participants recognized that AI is increasing the speed, scale and sophistication of cyber threats, while board engagement and capability remain uneven across organizations. They stressed individual entity accountability, stronger cyber fundamentals and more dynamic oversight of shared technology and service providers. Although Prudential Standard CPS 230 has increased attention on critical operations and supplier dependencies, transparency and assurance across complex supply chains remain challenges. Crisis discussions centered on concurrent disruptions, with regular simulations, clear escalation pathways and robust communications identified as essential to exposing governance and delegation weaknesses and preparing for coordinated responses across industry, regulators and government.
