Anyone who uses the internet today, is at risk of cybercrime.
According to Ami O'Driscoll, cybercrime is predicted to cost
over $21 billion in damages1 by 2021 with Australia
ranked 19th2 in the world for cyber-attacks.3
According to Small Business Trends, 43% of small to medium size
businesses are targets for cyber-attacks.4
Quite apart from the impact cybercrime can have on the internal
operations of any business, with the commencement of the
National Data Breaches scheme, businesses who fall victim
to cybercrime, and in particular data breaches, are now required by
law to inform both the Information Commissioner and any individuals
who may have been put at risk.
