Cyber Security: Are You Cyber Ready?

It’s not a matter of if, but when a cyber incident may occur. Businesses across Australia and Canada are taking the necessary steps to ensure they are prepared for a cyber attack or data breach.

Earlier this year, the Australian Government implemented new legislation that requires businesses to report incidents that expose personal data. These new laws require Australian and Canadian companies doing business in Australia to publicly report incidents that involve breaches of sensitive personal information.

Understanding what it means to be ready for a cyber incident can help your organisation prevent, prepare and respond to a potential threat. It also means that you can minimise damage to your organisation’s reputation and profitability.

Australia continues to be recognised as a cyber security leader and the CACC is pleased to be able to present a panel of industry experts who will help you to better understand the Australian cybersecurity landscape.

This event will be of particular interest to individuals from small, medium and large enterprises that are looking to better understand cyber security best practices in Australia.
