The latest report from the (Australian Government) Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) show close to a 25% increase in notifiable data breaches resulting from ransomware incidents. The Australian Government agency received 446 data breach notifications for the reporting period January to June 2021. Top 5 Industry Sectors Health…
The average data breach is discovered eight months after it has happened, with two-thirds of breached companies finding out through third parties. Why? Hackers exploit organisations’ lack of preparation and inaction around cyber security.
Cyber attacks are at an all-time high and this is especially true for law firms across the globe. From trade secrets through access to trust accounts and the funds they contain, the legal sector holds extensive valuable and confidential data, making it a prime target.
It’s important to know what public cloud resources your staff are using – not what you think you have sanctioned. Legal practices share sensitive information with their clients, colleagues, and increasingly third-party providers.
Cyber security can often be neglected, and technology seen as a ‘set and forget’ issue, yet in 2020, 51% of organisations were hit by some sort of ransomware attack, that is 1 in 2 organisations worldwide. Find out more here.

Advancements in cybersecurity have been growing exponentially, increasingly though we are fighting an automated adversary who is benefiting from the falling costs of compute to launch attacks.
For a number of years now, cloud computing has been one of the most hyped subjects from the board room to IT operations. The extremely security-conscious or risk adverse have been hesitant to move their data and workloads into the cloud while others have embraced the public cloud.
Traditional enterprise data protection focused on a strong perimeter fence – storing, managing and protecting data (often across multiple sites). This approach worked when the data was stored inside our own network. We held the keys to the door and our business applications and data didn’t need to leave our own environment.
Converged Infrastructure (CI) combines and optimizes multiple information technology components – compute, networking and storage – so they operate as a cohesive whole.
As you begin to move your company away from a physical infrastructure and into the cloud, it’s important to make sure that proper security policies are in place. While you may have a general information security policy, don’t think that absolves your organisation from the need for a specific cloud…
