Cybercrime costs the Australian economy billions of dollars each year. The increasing number of cyber-attacks have hit some of our nation’s biggest organisations including BlueScope Steel, Lion Dairy and Drinks, and Nine Entertainment as well as several major hospitals. These types of attacks can cripple an organisation financially and reputationally. With cyber now recognised as one of the top three risks facing organisations, it is imperative that Boards fully understand the specific cyber risks facing their businesses and are actively taking steps to mitigate those risks. In this episode of Behind Business, KordaMentha’s Cyber expert Brendan Read joins Anna Leibel from the Secure Board to discuss the risks facing Boards, what they need to be aware of and what they can do to manage the risk of a cyber-attack.
