ISO Annual Meeting Recap | Cybersecurity: Taking a Proactive Approach
Cybercrime is soaring, with ransomware, malware, crypto-jacking, and data theft attacks happening every three seconds. The global cost of these cyberattacks is expected to reach trillions of dollars annually by 2025.
Focusing on the importance of adopting a well-rounded approach to cybersecurity which includes both strategic thinking and tactical implementation, Lyria Bennett-Moses (Professor and Director of Alan's Computer Technology at UNSW Sydney) highlighted the necessity of a robust mitigation plan.
“Part of that plan is to resist the attacks in the first place, but it's also about recovery - what to do in the meantime. That's not just systems, that's also communications”.
Alastair MacGibbon, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberCX said “there is a massive difference between those of us who exercise every day on cyber response versus those that are the victim organisations”, highlighting that cybersecurity is not a one-time task, but an ongoing effort to adapt to evolving threats.
Juan Pablo Castro - Director of Technology and Cybersecurity Strategist at Trend Micro - emphasised the importance of collaboration between public and private sectors to address the ongoing national security concerns.
