Given the rise of cyberattacks of late, cyber security should be the number one issue for Australian businesses – cyber security and data protection has truly never been more important. But do Boards and Company Directors really understand the importance of being cyber aware, and the controls they should have in place to combat risks in their business? In this episode Matthew Green, Partner and Controls Assurance Specialist and Chris Watson, Partner and previously a Detective in the Computer Crime Unit City of London Police discuss why Boards and Directors should be interested in cyber security now more than ever, whether these criminals are ever prosecuted, and new technologies that companies should have on their radar to mitigate cyber-related crimes in the future.
