Cybersecurity: four things to watch for this month
As trading volumes ramp up in the lead up to the end of the year, so too do scam risks – and family businesses are not immune. Cyberattacks have become an increasingly thorny problem for Australian family owned businesses, and if you do fall prey to a cyberattack, the costs can escalate. What’s more, depending on the type of attack, your business’ reputation may also take a hit.
