As the variety and number of connected devices grow, so does the chance of having it compromised by hackers or malware. 2017 saw major ransomware attacks like WannaCry and NotPetya affect businesses and individuals alike. These attacks revealed that malware and ransomware are becoming highly sophisticated in nature and vicious in their approach. Consequently, IT security is no longer optional for companies, with 18 million new malware samples captured in Q3 of 2017 alone; without the right IT support and security platforms in place, your business is prone to these sorts of attacks. A serious data breach or infection means downtime for your business, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a cybercrime attack can cost anywhere up to approximately $300,000, 50% of that cost is on detection and recovery.
The Notifiable Data Breach Scheme is an amendment to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) that came into effect on February 22nd, 2018, it regulates how businesses handle personal and sensitive information and introduces mandatory reporting of serious data breaches to the Office of the Australia Information Commissioner (OAIC).
