Did you know that cybercrime is reported on average once every 7 minutes in Australia? That’s a 13% increase from last year.
The theme for Cyber Security Awareness Month this year is Be cyber wise – don’t compromise, and is encouraging you to take 4 simple steps to be more cyber wise and increase the security of your business:
- Update your devices regularly
- Turn on multi-factor authentication
- Backup your important files
- Use passphrases and password managers
In the healthcare industry, there is perhaps an even greater need to be cyber aware due to the sensitivities around patient data. There are some helpful resources for health practitioners on the digitalhealth.gov.au website.
Also on the Australian Government’s Cyber Security Awareness Month website.
Avoid the compromise of your devices and accounts!
