Malicious cyber activity is increasing in frequency, scale, and sophistication in Australia. The Australian Cyber Security Centre estimates that the impact of cybercrime in Australia in annual losses is $300 million. In a recent survey on cyber security 62% of small to medium businesses had experienced a cyber security incident. Almost half rated their cyber security understanding as ‘average’ or ‘below average' and had poor cyber security practices. Rob McAdam, CEO of CXO Security, discusses cyber security threats, incidents and what businesses can do to significantly reduce their risk.
