Are you someone who is worried about the security and performance of technology in your organisation?In recent security studies only 43% of office workers verified the links they clicked were legitimate despite the fact that clicking malicious links is a primary way a phishing attempts which then turn into a major data breaches. 65% of Australian organisations were interrupted due to a breach between 2018-2019 and a third of Australian organisations are being interrupted on a weekly or monthly basis by ransomware attacks. Of these statistics 1 in 4 Australian organisations admit they don’t have an incident response plan in place to deal with damaging cyber-attacks when they occur.In the face of these alarming statistics far too many organisations still believe their team are fully educated around identifying risk and that their organisations won't be affected by cybercrime.In many cases it's not a matter of if your organisation will be affected by cybercrime it is a matter of when your organisation is affected by the threat of cybercrime - when a security event occurs the questions you then must ask is:1. Did we do our very best to protect the organisation against the ongoing threats? 2. Do we have a incident response plan in place?3. What did we learn from this experience and how can we improve?Further to this the same questions may be asked by third parties such as your insurance companies, clients and governments. How will your organisation answer these questions?Despite these security challenges facing each and every organisation on a daily basis it is possible for an organisation like yours to leverage planning, education and technology to arm the organisation and its team to mitigate and prevent cybersecurity events from occurring as well as being prepared for those difficult discussions with clients, insurances companies and governments.
