What you can do now to improve your cyber security

There are certainly some basic (but very important) steps you can easily undertake to improve cyber security. For example:

• Implement a policy to ban personal passwords for access to company accounts
• Enforce multi-factor authentication for online services
• Enforce the use of password managers to create long and unique passphrases and 2FA or Passkey for every account
• Enable automatic updates for all software
• Educate staff on cyber security matters, e.g. how to recognise scams and phishing attempts
• Enforce regular back-ups of important files
• Be aware of your risks by obtaining an external audit.

 There is a long list of other, more involved processes recommended for comprehensive cyber security. To implement these measures, the Australian Cyber Security Centre (the Australian Government’s technical authority on cyber security) recommends using reputable managed service providers.
