Abstract:
In Australia, cyber-attacks are increasing with devastating impact to some business. The Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) is running a survey to understand what small to medium sized businesses want or need to tackle cybercrime. They report that “the level of knowledge about good cyber security practices remains fairly low with the majority of businesses believing they are safe from cybercrime because they use antivirus software”. These companies would employ people who can assist in minimizing cyber-attacks when they are engaged via effective policies and frameworks with a focus on engagement between the owners and users of the policies to ensure they are fit for purpose, easy to understand and follow. The ACSC also drives cyber security awareness. However enhanced collaboration across organizations and industry to combine skills and knowledge would further assist in effective cyber resilience with metrics help to focus people on the desired outcomes.
