Cybersecurity with Minister for Home Affairs Hon Karen Andrews MP

NATIONAL

On the 29th of April, MGA TMA, together with members of COSBOA met with the newly appointed Minister for Home Affairs Karen Andrews and her team to discuss several topics, particularly the emerging risk of Cybercrime and Cybersecurity. Small and large businesses and institutions are all being affected by local and global Cyberattacks that compromise the ability of an organisation to operate its day-to-day business and activities.

Our world is now online in almost every respect. However, we cannot underestimate the ingenuity of Cybercrime perpetrators who will resort to anything to infiltrate your operating system and then hold a business to ransom for either cash funds or bitcoins.

This form of crime is running rampant, and we as a family and private business cohort must stay vigilant by ensuring our IT systems are appropriately passworded and securitised.

As a senior leader in the forum said, you would not leave the front door of your house open for thieves to come in, so why would you allow this to occur to your computer system in your business or private life?
