Why cybersecurity matters

Cybersecurity has been on the radar for businesses for a while. Now the conversation is taking centre stage in the boardroom.

Last year saw some of the highest profile data breaches involving huge multinational organisations and government agencies. In fact, the Australian Government has reported that it can document at least one attack against its IT systems by a foreign power. Whether in the government, entertainment or retail sector, these organisations were forced to answer some tough questions by their stakeholders.

And they’re just the ones we hear about, and almost certainly just the tip of the iceberg. Many organisations don’t disclose the fact that they have been attacked for fear of reputational or financial damage.

Clearly, cybersecurity is big news. Just how big is it and, more importantly, what can be done about it?
