2021 was a massive year for cyber security, with the increase in cyber-attacks pushing a wider than ever range of industries and governments to address the cyber security sector. In its recent brochure, CISOaaS.online highlights some concerning Australian security statistics, such as the $33 billion in total self-reported losses from cybercrimes and a 13 per cent increase in cybercrime reports from 2020 to 2021. In addition, ransomware, tipped as the number one concern for organisations this year, was up 15 per cent between 2020 and 2021.
AuCyberscape expects cyber security spending by Australians to increase to A$7.6 billion by 2024. Rapidly snowballing, the Australian cyber security workforce is anticipated to increase to 33,500 in the next two years.
