Why should you attend Cyber Crime 2012?

Four years ago, in 2007, the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates all personal fraud, both online and offline, costs Australians AUD$1bn a year – a figure certain to increase as Australia becomes more connected to the web. Managing information risk in this era – especially in mobile, Cloud, IT consumerisation, social media, has become essential for Australian companies battling to protect its intellectual property and customer information being exposed to the underground cyber economy.

In Australia the estimated cost of cybercrime has been reported as high as $1.8 billion and another $2.8 billion in time spent resolving cybercrime issues. On that basis, cybercrime costs Australia more than the traditional crimes of burglary ($2.2 billion) and assault ($1.4 billion).

How should your business prepare over the next 12 months? What are the risks involved to not securing your systems? What are the old and new types of cybercrime? Hear more at the Inaugural Cybercrime Symposium, 1-2 March 2012, Sydney Harbour Marriott.
