Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBUSSQ has appointed a new director to its board of trustees who specialises in cybersecurity and risk management.
\nMatthew Rowan has been involved in the BUSSQ board since August 2023 as an expert committee member where he\u00a0provided\u00a0independent advice on cyber security, technology\u00a0strategy\u00a0and IT risk management.\u00a0
\nHe\u00a0has now been promoted to a director and will also be a member\u00a0of the\u00a0audit and\u00a0risk\u00a0committee and the\u00a0member\u00a0services committee.\u00a0
\nRising scams and\u00a0cyber attacks\u00a0have pushed super funds\u00a0to bolster their security and digital safeguards across the retirement system as cyber resilience is viewed as a baseline expectation.\u00a0
\nKPMG\u2019s latest\u00a0Super Insights\u00a0report\u00a0said the sector had experienced \u201cco-ordinated attacks, wide-reaching credential theft, fraudulent withdrawals, and identity-based scams\u201d over the past year, prompting urgent action from regulators and super funds alike.\u00a0
\nThe report noted that cyber resilience had become a baseline expectation across the industry as funds navigate rising digital engagement, growing member expectations and increasingly sophisticated criminal activity.\u00a0
\nChris Taylor, chair of the BUSSQ board of trustees, said: \u201cOn behalf of the board of trustees, I am pleased to welcome Matthew to the board . He brings valuable experience and insights in technology and cyber risk that will further strengthen the board\u2019s skills and governance capability as we navigate an increasingly complex technical environment for our members.\u201d\u00a0
\nHe replaced Geoff Baguley as an\u00a0employer\u00a0representative, following his resignation in February 2026.\u00a0
\nAlso on the board of trustees is Ben Young, Emma Eaves, Hemal Patel, Linda Vickers, Paul Hick and Paul Dunbar.
\nEarlier this year, BUSSQ tapped First Super chief executive Bill Watson as its new chief investment officer. Watson joined after serving around 13 years as chief executive of the paper, pulp and timber industries fund, which he joined in 2013.
\nAT BUSSQ, he oversees the $7.5 billion fund\u2019s investment strategy, with a focus on delivering strong long-term outcomes for members.<\/p>\n
