Cybersecurity is top of mind for business owners worldwide. In 2020-21, self-reported financial losses due to cybercrime in Australia totalled over $33 billion with an average cost of $33,000 per attack. Could your business afford this cost?

Cybercrime carries not just the monetary loss, but also the cost of disruption to increasingly digitised essential sectors such as advanced manufacturing, resources and defense industries. These have all become targets of cyberattacks resulting in huge setbacks for the wider economy and reputational damage to Australian businesses.

In line with the shift to hybrid workforces, there has also been an increase in cyber threats, where remote working and the adoption of cloud applications are now common-place in the wider business community.

These three expert speakers will help you:

• understand how to prepare your business to be cybersecure
• focus on the key issues impacting defense and manufacturing
• answer your cybersecurity questions.
