Aon has appointed Lucas Roe to its recently established Cyber Solutions Group in the role of Security Architecture and Risk Quantification Leader.

Sydney-based Mr Roe, who started his new role in in November, was most recently Principal Security Architect at Commonwealth Bank, where he developed security services protecting digital channels and customer data.

Mr Roe will be responsible for helping build Aon’s technical cyber consulting capabilities such as security architecture and engineering, cyber risk quantification, cloud security and security operation centre optimisation.

Aon says the Cyber Solutions Group offers risk management services to help clients uncover and quantify cyber risks, protect critical assets and recover from cyber incidents.

The risk services giant says it has witnessed significant cyber claims in Australia and around the globe as organisations rely more on digital technology to improve operational efficiency and manage supply chains, making them more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
