One of the biggest security risks in New Zealand isn’t technology. It’s misplaced responsibility.
Many organisations assume cybersecurity is handled by their IT or network provider, but IT operations and security are not the same discipline. While firewalls, endpoint tools, and cloud controls are important, security fails when it becomes technology-led instead of risk-led. Real security requires governance, skilled people, and continual review—not just tools left to run on default settings. Without dedicated security leadership and maturity assessment, organisations can appear secure on paper while remaining exposed in practice.
A Tale of Burgers and Broken Security
What began as a simple burger order through a food delivery app quickly exposed a serious security flaw. While checking the order history, the presence of a visible Order ID sparked curiosity. By changing this number slightly, it was possible to view another customer’s order, including their delivery address, and even reorder their meal. The incident highlights a basic but critical security failure: inadequate access controls that allowed unauthorised access to other users’ data through predictable identifiers.

Cybersecurity expert, Andrew Johnston, explains how over-engineered systems and technical language drive people to bypass security, and why simplicity—not more controls—is the key to building security that actually works.
