Brendan Read discusses the expertise required to inform cyber
security planning.
Despite the swathe of recent data breaches, corporate Australia
remains worryingly susceptible to sophisticated cyber security
attacks.
In some instances, the risk is going unheeded, leading to
companies being crippled or compromised by an attack and without
adequate procedures to resolve what can lead to financial ruin.
Cyber criminals are becoming increasingly clever, being able to
penetrate the impenetrable. Yet we are still seeing over-reliance
on old technology and run-of-the-mill security processes compounded
by IT departments having insufficient bandwidth and specialist
expertise to provide a rock-solid, multi-layered cyber defence.
