Cyber crime has been on the rise in Australia and New Zealand, and is likely to continue. Between July 2015 and June 2016, Australia’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT Australia) responded to 14,804 cyber security incidents affecting Australian
businesses. Of these, 418 involved systems of national interest and critical infrastructure1. Preventing such attacks is vital to an organisation’s success and to the overall health of Australia and New Zealand’s information economy.
A successful cyber defence plan hinges on a 360-degree approach and a relentless focus on business impact. Enterprises need well-trained employees who can react to clear-cut incident response plans and procedures for handling everything from a zero-day vulnerability (an undisclosed computer application vulnerability) to a large-scale, public breach. But they also must have the appropriate tools, and commitment from business for this to be successful. Best practices demonstrate what truly sets a good cyber security operating model apart.
