Cyber-attacks on the rise

Did you know 67% of all data breaches in Australia between January and June 2024 resulted from cyber-attacks*?

Threats to cyber security are constantly evolving, with new vulnerabilities emerging as existing ones are mitigated.

The Federal Government has introduced legislation to Parliament to secure Australia’s cyber environment and protect critical infrastructure.

The Cyber Security Bill 2024 includes mandating security standards for smart devices, providing further mandatory reporting obligations for certain entities and establishing a Cyber Incident Review Board.

Time to act 

Safeguarding your sensitive data has never been more critical.

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month – the perfect time to ensure your digital networks and databases are secured, your staff are trained in cyber safety and to have the right insurance policy in place.
