About this event
Join us at this panel session to hear international experts discuss Cybersecurity in the global arena.
Cybersecurity awareness is now at an all-time high, thanks in part to widely publicised breaches that we read about on an almost monthly basis. However many businesses, small and large, still underestimate the potential for a cyber-attack against their organisation -- and the cost to their business -- should one occur, now estimated to be around $419,000 (ACS Australia’s Digital Pulse 2017 report).
Our world today is built upon technology, but technology is only one component in the equation for cyber-resilience: people and their potential is the critical cornerstone in building effective cyber-resilience for any organisation.
