The Bottom Line - your source for business insights and tech inspiration

That's right. Despite scary and emotive headlines warning us of potential disaster from cyber attacks, the reality of staying cyber-secure is less about 'the rise of the machines' or 'being hacked by foreign governments', and more about taking sensible precautions, and teaming up with the right allies to guard your blindspots.

Yes, your business is at risk. We all are. If you engage in any kind of digital or online activity, you are vulnerable. But that doesn't mean you need to panic.

In this edition of The Bottom Line we hone in on some specific areas where you should be investing your time and attention to put you in the best position to protect yourself from the fallout of a cyber attack, and provide some sensible advice on how to partner with experts to optimise your security position in terms of cost, resource, time, and protection.

If anything in this edition of The Bottom Line raises concern or curiosity for you, reach out.  Great outcomes start with great conversations!!

You know that the threat of cyber attack, and its impact on your organisation, can look different depending on what area of the business you are responsible for. We spoke to leaders in our business to understand their area-specific security concerns, and get their advice on how they're keeping Fusion5, our people, and our customers safe.

For a 'real talk' about the threat and impact of cyber attacks on Australian and New Zealand businesses, we put the spotlight on Fusion5's CISO Adam van Vliet, and GM of Enterprise Cloud and Security (including Fusion5's Security Centre), Kris Jackson. From the importance of being able to 'filter out the noise' so you can identify genuine threats quickly, to discussing the common things that businesses get wrong when attempting to improve their security, in just under 10 minutes, you'll be in a more informed position than when you woke up this morning!
