Denial of service attacks, corporate espionage, as well as identity and data theft, are often depicted as the stuff of movies. The reality is that organisations around the world are having information pilfered from their networks, and emerging technologies - such as the Internet of Things - will bring new threats and challenges. <br><br>With the average cybercrime attack costing an Australian business more than $400,000 and mandatory reporting required for data breaches, it’s not surprising that companies are investing in cyber security. A good cyber security policy inspires vigilance and commitment from every level of the organization - it only takes one weak link in the chain for the system to fall over. <br><br>In this ACS NSW Technical Presents session, Senior Security Consultant, Edward Li, CISSP, OSCP, and Abhishek Simkhada, Security Engineer will explore:<br><br><b>Organisational Factors:</b> <ul><li>Cyber-resilient workplace culture.
