If your company relies on Internet connectivity like most typical businesses across Australia, you are at risk of becoming a victim of cyber crime. Cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated and skilled at carrying out their goals of stealing information and wreaking havoc. This is why cyber security is such a critical aspect for every business that carries out any online interactions.
iCT Group have been audited and recognised as operating at the highest level (Maturity Level 3) on the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight Cybersecurity Framework.
WHAT IS
Cyber Security
Cyber security is the protection of a business’s Internet-connected systems from attacks. These systems include hardware, software, and data that can be taken and used for various purposes across the Internet and on the dark web.
Cyber security experts work to prevent data breaches, maintain a company’s compliance with regulations, and prevent attempts to extort businesses after hacking into company systems.
Why your business
Needs Cyber Security
There is simply no way around the fact that cybercrime is becoming more frequent and costlier.
Cyber attackers are constantly improving their ability to hack their way into a system that may appear to be protected.
You are sadly mistaken if you believe that only big businesses are at risk for cybercrime; cybercriminals target companies based on opportunity. If a system appears easy to hack, it is on a cybercriminal’s radar as a potential target.
The following statistics are eye-opening.
- The average cost of a data breach in Australia is 3.35 million per occurrence.
- A cybercriminal can take an entire customer database in a matter of hours. However, it takes around 200 days (roughly six and a half months) for an Australian organisation to discover a data breach.
- The Australian Cyber Security Center (ACSC) reports that 164 cybercrime incidents are registered daily in Australia. That is approximately one report every ten minutes.
