IT plays a critical role in business success. When performing well, IT systems support management in fulfilling the business strategy, providing timely, reliable data in a secure environment; at their worst they drain investment resources and hamper efficient decision-making and operations.
With over 84% of Australian businesses online and over 12000 cyber-crimes in Australia last year, now is the time consider your cyber readiness. 91% of attacks start with an email, and the average cost to a business per attack is over $275,000. Boards and management teams need confidence that their IT systems are secure and able to withstand external or internal threats.
Many businesses appreciate the value of gaining expert external assistance to ensure that IT systems and controls are working effectively and securely – and will continue to do so.
