About the Event

Crippling external attacks on government, universities, critical infrastructure, institutions, and logistics businesses, to name just a few are increasingly common. The average cost of a data breach from the 2021 Ponemon institute report was $4.24m, and an average of 287 days to identify and retain a breach. No longer is cybersecurity and managing this risk just an IT issue – it is a whole of business issue. The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has warned organisations must enforce stricter processes on their disparate workforces after workplace changes ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic left hackers with bigger targets to hit. Our panel of experts will discuss what you need to be aware of and what your business can do to manage the increased threat – this is too important to miss.
