Awfully quiet out here
Last week, attendees at the Australian Information Security Association conference were given a preview of the Australian cyber security strategy by PM&C official Lynwen Connick. Connick noted the importance of cybersecurity to future prosperity and innovation in Australia, and the key role the private sector should play in achieving a more cyber secure country. Australian small businesses remain woefully unprepared for cyber security threats. According to research from the Department of Communications and the Arts, only 25% believe they are at risk from hacking and less than half kept anti-virus programs up to date. One proposal for the strategy appears to be a set of guidelines that any organisation can adopt to improve their cybersecurity practice. However there's still no news on when the strategy will be released, and it will likely be delayed due to the change in leadership to the tech-focused Malcolm Turnbull.
