Privacy and cyber security are a key issue in Parliament…
Cyber attacks across the globe are increasing at an alarming rate and no organisation is immune. Since 2013, over 7 billion data records have been lost or stolen and only 4% were encrypted. In Australia, on average, a cyber attack costs an organisation $5.4 million1 per incident. However this cost increases significantly when factoring in flow-on effects such as business disruption, information loss or theft, revenue loss, or the impact on brand and reputation or regulatory sanction.
According to the recent ASX 100 Cyber Health Check Report, while only 8% of directors say they have a clear understanding of the key controls in the company’s cyber resilience framework, a further 64% have a reasonable understanding. There are opportunities for further improvement. Is Victorian government similar?
