Cyber

Cyber security and data hacking has dominated news headlines and captivated our attention due to the risk posed to businesses and consumers around the globe. We hear a lot less about network security, but the reality is hackers gain access to systems and data via the network.

Rehearsing and refining your cyber incident response plans ensures you can minimise the damage if attackers manage to breach your defences.

It can be said that the only constant in the world of cyber security, is change. Cyber threats are evolving more rapidly than ever, with both the technology and people behind the cyber attacks becoming more and more sophisticated.

The cyber security threat landscape continues to evolve at an unprecedented rate. News headlines are constantly reporting the latest cyber attack, inevitably leading to financial and reputational damage to the businesses caught up in the data breach.

Across Australia, around 18,000 graduates are currently required annually, to fill vacancies in cyber security. Within this rapidly growing industry, the need for job-ready graduates has never been higher, with demand outstripping the number of graduates each year.

As the concept of the traditional network perimeter becomes obsolete, organisations must take a more holistic view – which requires rethinking their approach to the fundamentals of networking and security.

A dramatic increase in cyber crime and growing corporate accountability for related loss means the battle to protect a company’s digital assets is about to become an intensely personal one for Australia’s corporate custodians. Manuel Salazar from Orro explores.

As work from home mandates scattered employees to the wind, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the dangers for businesses in over-relying on Virtual Private Networks to allow their staff to securely work remotely.

Assuming that no-one, nowhere can be trusted by default, Zero Trust greatly reduces the likelihood of a security breach, plus it limits the impact should someone slip through your defences.
