Episode 344 – Cybersecurity resilience top priority for Australian organisations – CISCO Live!

Resilience has emerged as a top priority as a staggering 70 percent of organisations surveyed said they had experienced a security event that impacted business in the past two years.

These incidents resulted in severe repercussions for the companies that experienced them, along with the ecosystem of organisations they do business with.

With stakes this high, it is no surprise that executives surveyed for the report said that security resilience is a high priority for them.
