Reece is well regarded for his ability to advise boards and other senior members in the executive, legal, IT, risk management and public relations functions to navigate Australia’s complex cyber landscape. Acting as 'breach coach', Reece helps entities navigate their strategic response to cyber incidents such as network interruption (denial of service, ransomware, system unavailability), data breach (inadvertent disclosure, malicious third party systems access, loss of physical documents), and cyber-crime (fraud, misdirected funds, extortion) incidents. Reece is often sought after for his privacy and technology subject matter expertise, crisis management experience, and strong relationships with non-legal incident response vendors, law enforcement bodies, government agencies, and other industry stakeholders to achieve favourable outcomes. In addition to providing incident response services, Reece routinely advises on incident preparedness and resilience strategies. Following cyber incidents, Reece acts in third party IT liability claims, consumer claims, regulatory investigations and recovery actions. It is this end to end experience which informs Reece’s approach to managing a cyber crisis.
