A further 169 million personal records, and 781 publicised breaches from public and private organisations were also exposed by cyber hackers. Over 60% of these attacks were committed against small and medium enterprises. Hi, I'm Dr. Nick Patterson from the School of Information Technology at Deakin University. No security is 100% foolproof. Fact is, if hackers really want your data, they will always be able to get it. Which is why it's so important that we have trained people to defend against cyber attacks. Cybersecurity is everyone's business, and everyone's business is at risk.
