The Australian government has released its cybersecurity strategy which aims to make Australia one of the most cyber-secure nations in the world by 2030.

Almost $600 million is being put towards erecting six "cyber shields" around Australian infrastructure and businesses to protect them from attacks and to secure networks.

Australia is a particularly big target for many syndicates and cyber criminals because it is a wealthy country with a large population of internet users.

As organisations obtain more video data, they are faced with significant security and privacy challenges.

New data shows Australian businesses are racing to adopt generative AI (GenAI) tools, even if their enthusiasm is outpacing their awareness of challenges and risks. 

Businesses are the frequent targets for cyber attacks involving scammers, hackers and digital malcontents wanting to steal money, secrets and identities.

Too many business owners are declining to take even rudimentary steps to better equip their companies to get crisis-ready.

NTT and Deakin University have decided to close cybersecurity-focused CyRise Accelerator, a collaboration they opened in 2017.

Small businesses should have a defined strategy for compliance with these laws and safeguards against network hacks, and data loss, including training staff, asset identification, data supply chain review, audit and reporting. Reducing risk now could protect if a vulnerability arises tomorrow. 

Australians need assurances their data is safe, but Internet 2.0 CEO Robert Potter says TikTok has a history of not being clear about what it does.

Voluntarily adopting the New Zealand laws can help Australian enterprises better mitigate risk and protect business reputation.
