Cyber security - Beware the cat video!
The old days of cybercrime are long gone. You remember that email we all got - from the former Prince of Nigeria who needed to get $1,000,000 out of the country AND FAST. All he needed from us was our bank account details. Well, that is not cybercrime today. Cybercriminals pivoted as hard as any industry during the pandemic. In 2023 - whether it is catphishing, ransomware, or deep fake videos - cyber is a new game altogether. It is slick. It is personalised. And it is everywhere.Cyber security - Beware the cat video!
A cybercrime is reported in Australia EVERY 7 MINUTES. In 2022 Telstra alone blocked over 300 million fraudulent SMSs and 400 million dodgy emails. Who knows if one of them could have crippled your business.
In this keynote Adam will share examples of the cutting edge best, or should I say worst, examples of cyber-crime currently happening … outline the sheer scope of cyber-crime in Australia and the types we Aussies are particularly susceptible to … I’ll give you practical tips you can employ right now to improve your cyber security … and explain how your people and your culture are just as important as your software. Or as I like to say “you’re only as strong as your weakest link … and that link is Gary from accounts - who just LOVES cat videos”
Audience takeaways:
- The cutting edge best, or worst, examples of cyber-crime currently happening
- The sheer scope of cyber-crime in Australia and the types we are particularly susceptible to
- Protecting your business is a people and culture issue as much as a software one
