Synopsis
Across the technology landscape, risk issues are continuing to merge, as a result of the interconnected nature of business, technology services and individual users. Cyber security sits at the heart of this intersection, as cyber threat actors deliberately seek to compromise an organisation’s sensitive data records, and use this information to both extort the organisation and harm impacted data subjects.
Increasingly regulators and the wider community are focusing on these issues, and the consequential exposures that cyber breaches can result in, such as individual frauds, personal harms, disinformation and forms of online abuse. For cyber security professionals understanding these emerging trends will help them contextualises the risk that their organisation’s cyber security strategy must manage, and provides insight into the wider business challenges arising from malicious actor behaviour and the regulatory landscape.
This session will explore key developments that have been seen across Australia and the wider region, such as the current focus on 'Doxxing' and mitigating the consequences that follow the unauthorised online exposure of an individual's sensitive private information. The session will also examine how vulnerable data subjects are increasingly targeted for extortion frauds following cyber events, and the heightened risks nexus between cyberattacks and proliferation of harmful content and disinformation.
The session will also examine the current focus of key regulators such as the OAIC and E-Safety Commissioner, and provide guide guidance around how these issues are likely to influenced both privacy and cyber security.
