Attacks rise, budgets stay the same
More than half (52 per cent) of Australian organisations surveyed suffered a data breach in 2020, up from 36 per cent in 2019 – this is despite 61 per cent of Australian organisations claiming to have a proactive or better security capability in place today.
This is still considerably better than the average across Asia Pacific and Japan, where 70 per cent of surveyed organisations reported a breach in 2020, which is a two-fold increase since 2019.
Of the successful Australian breaches, more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of companies rated the loss of data as either “very serious” or “serious”. Two-thirds (68 per cent) said the breach took longer than a week to remediate.
