Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC)<\/a>\u00a0has taken a step which in many people\u2019s eyes as well as those of security experts is a great\u00a0move forward. The ACSC has created the first unclassified platform baseline which will be used by\u00a0Australian businesses to track down the ever increasing cyber attacks.<\/p>\nAfter coming up with this innovation, ACSC seeks to have all businesses and other organizations to\u00a0ensure a protection of critical and sensitive information is their primary duty. Organisations should\u00a0extend this protection to computer and information systems. The National Computer Emergency\u00a0Response Team (CERT, Australia) responded to more than 11,000 hacking incidences targeting\u00a0Australian businesses in 2014. This is according to a new report released by ACSC.<\/p>\n
Of the many hacking incidences targeting Australian businesses, 153 incidences were those relating\u00a0to high security and critical infrastructure, national interest and government agencies. Some of the\u00a0major sectors that were affected include banking and finance, communications, transport, energy\u00a0and defence. The hackers were using more sophisticated malware on areas that are critical and\u00a0would destabilize the society and government.<\/p>\n
The ACSC was set up in 2014. It was established with a mandate to act as a security clearing house.\u00a0This would enable the agency together with the government with an opportunity to understand the\u00a0vulnerabilities that Australian business sector is faced with. This is a particularly critical role that\u00a0the ACSC was mandated with because it helps organizations know the most prevalent malware\u00a0being used to target them at any particular time. In return, the businesses and the anti-virus firms can\u00a0plan on the best AV to invest in.<\/p>\n
Because of the absence of a primary mandatory notification platform of a data breach in Australia, the\u00a0ACSC was established. Backed by the introduction and passing of a legislation in parliament,\u00a0ACSC is sure to be embraced by the business community especially by those enterprises that have\u00a0fallen into hands of cyber criminals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
