Cybersecurity
The advancement of technology has transformed how people and businesses connect and use information, leading to revolutionary collaboration methods. This has also led to the cyber environment becoming a rapidly increasing and complex network of interconnected devices, from IoT devices to ecommerce sites and large corporate networks.
Unfortunately, this has also led to an increase in cybercrime, which is now primarily perpetrated by organised criminal syndicates and state actors. The traditional view of a "hacker" as a student in their bedroom is no longer accurate. Cybercrime has become more sophisticated, systematic, and destructive.
As the number of devices within an organisation continues to grow, from PCs and printers to smartphones and sensors, the role of information security has also evolved. Cybercrime has become a multi-million dollar industry targeting government, businesses, and individuals who rely on the internet and IT systems for their daily activities.
Recent data breaches have affected organisations not just in other countries, but also in New Zealand, such as Animates, Air New Zealand, PHO, Ministry for Culture and Heritage and many others. It's important for businesses to stay vigilant and invest in cybersecurity measures to protect their assets and customers.
" The new normal for Cyber Security is a truly terrifying reality - if you are connected to the internet in any way, it is not if, but when, you will suffer some form of Cyber Breach. "
Cybercrime is driven by the desire for information and financial gain, and attackers are often indifferent about who they compromise - from large organisations to small businesses, healthcare providers, e-commerce sites, retailers, utilities, government departments, and even individual users. They will take the path that provides the highest return on investment. With the rise of hacking services such as Ransomware as a Service, these threats have become commercialised with mature business processes.
The rapidly changing cyber threat landscape poses significant challenges. Relying on a perimeter firewall and antivirus alone is no longer effective against targeted attacks. Traditional technology solutions are no longer enough, and organisations must now leverage leadership, culture, networks, and change readiness to create an advantage over cybercriminals and other malicious actors.
The new normal for cybersecurity is a truly terrifying reality - if you are connected to the internet in any way, it's not a matter of if, but when, you will suffer a cyber breach. It is essential for organisations to proactively take steps to reduce the damage cybercrime can have. Good business practice allows organisations to meet their legal obligations to keep data secure, as well as comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme, effected in 2020.
