About this episode
The growth of cyber-crime is considered to be the biggest challenge facing Australian businesses.
Collectively cyber-attacks cost the economy $42 billion dollars last year, with ransomware the most disruptive type of hack, costing $3 billion.
So what is the government doing? And what can organisations do, both to lower their risk of attack, and if the hackers succeed in accessing their systems?
