Cybersecurity has lately been a hot topic in the public. This is due to the rising amount of cyberattacks such as data breaches, theft, and leaks happening around, with the latest being Optus’ data breach. Although it is a major issue, many are still lacking in knowledge on this topic and have not realised its importance. So, we are here to break it down for you.
What is Cybersecurity?
The CISA refers to it as :
“the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorised access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information” [1].
Thus, any effort, technology, or process that is undertaken to protect computer systems, networks, devices, programs, and data safe from unauthorised use is known as cybersecurity.
Why is it important?
Cyber attacks and breaches have been increasing and very concerning for businesses and individuals. There are many risks such as the whole system being erased, confidential information like credit card numbers stolen for unauthorised purchases, and many others.
Do you know?
• In 2021, there are over 67,500 cybercrimes in Australia
• There is one cybercrime reported every 8 seconds in Australia
• This is an increase of nearly 13% from the previous year.
*Data were taken from The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ASSC) Annual Cyber Threat Report
Cybercrimes can affect everyone. Not only it is threatening to large corporations, but also to small businesses, and individuals that will be causing damage to each or even their relationships.
Leading Cyber Security Companies
Due to its significance, many have been using the help of cyber security companies that offer extra protection for their systems. Here are some of Australia’s leading companies.
- Microsoft
Microsoft is one of the world’s biggest corporations. Not only did they excel in computer programs/software, but they also offer a range of threat protection services from security, identity, and cybersecurity.
- IBM
IBM is another international leading company in the technology sector. With a broad range of portfolio services, they deliver assessments and security strategies to many large enterprises in the world.
- PwC
PwC is an established professional service firm in the world. Showing consistent performance across all areas, PwC also proves itself in cybersecurity. It features diverse technical skills used to provide complete solutions for cyber security and digital challenges.
Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a higher priority and so is the number of companies offering these services. However, these two sides often struggle to connect and work together.
