Cyber Security is not just a technical challenge, it's a core business imperative.
From our advisory consulting services and incident response investigations these are the top cyber security challenges we see organisations facing today.
Business Challenges: We See
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face!"
60% of organisations do not have an incident response plan in place.
Knowing what to do and how to respond in a crisis is essential in todays threat landscape.
One of the best ways to prepare for such attacks and enable your organisation to get backup and running again with minimal fuss and damage is to prepare through crisis simulation table top exercises.
Ask yourself and the senior leadership team in your business: "If a cyber attack was to happen to us are we prepared?"
Ransomware resilience is essential for all businesses in Australia
Over 115 organisations of all sizes have been effected by ransomware attacks in Australia since Jan 2024. These are only the ones that have been reported, so the number is likely to be much higher than that.
A ransomware-resilient organisation can mitigate the risk of data loss by implementing robust data protection measures such as encryption, access controls, and data backups. This helps preserve the integrity of critical data assets and ensures business continuity even in the face of ransomware attacks.
▶️ $2.0M dollars is the average initial ransomware demand in 2024.
▶️ The average ransomware payment has increased 5x in the last year.
▶️ 33% of organisations that paid the ransom still could not recover their data.
Protecting your business from ransomware attacks
We help you prepare, defend and respond to a ransomware crisis. We do this through cyber simulation exercises, reviewing your incident response plans and ensuring you have the right processes and controls in place.
Why its important to protect your organisation from business email compromise
Cyber criminals target organisations to trick users into revealing information they shouldn't by pretending to be from a trusted source. They then pivot to taking control of accounts and then use that to target suppliers or key business stakeholders with the intent of diverting payments.
▶️ Business email compromise (BEC) on average cost Australian businesses $97,000 in 2023.
▶️ Small to Medium size businesses have a 75% chance of being successfully targeted at least once a week.
