Most notably, two of the largest and most high-profile data breaches in our nation’s history impacting Optus and Medibank, affected millions of Australians.
Australian IT leaders ranked ransomware (45%), malware (43%), and phishing or whaling (40%) as the leading sources of increased security attacks. Managing cyber risks in any industry is an ongoing challenge, with 50% of IT Managers reporting increased volume, severity, or scope of cyberattacks in the past 12 months.
The Parking Industry is not exempt from cybercrime and cyber criminals are not going away.
As data breaches become more pervasive in our interconnected world so must our understanding of modern day cyber attacks. In 2022, various new obligations ‘switched on’ for operators of critical infrastructure assets across a wide and expanded range of industries.
The Parking Industry needs to be responsible to ensure they are protecting all of our categories of data from breaches, ransomware, phishing, malware and cyber threats. With exponential advances in technology and sophisticated digital systems being embraced by the Industry and LPR technology becoming the standard, networks can be compromised, with personal, payment, and other data hacked and exposed.
Parking Australia invites you to attend our Melbourne Cyber Security Forum.
