Cyber Security for Australian Businesses

What Is Cybercrime — and How Can It Impact Your Business?

Cybercrime has surged over recent years, with ransomware and data breaches now posing serious threats to businesses of all sizes. While external threats like malware and phishing make headlines, human error remains one of the most common causes of security incidents, accounting for nearly 70% of breaches.

Understanding the most common security mistakes your team might be making is the first step toward protecting your business.

Common Cybersecurity Mistakes

We’re more than just IT support — we’re your proactive partner in long-term tech success.

Phishing and Email Scams

Stolen login credentials are one of the most common ways hackers breach systems — usually through phishing emails. More advanced attacks like spear phishing or business email compromise can trick staff into transferring funds or sensitive data.

Weak Login Practices

Many employees unintentionally put systems at risk by using weak or reused passwords, sharing login details with coworkers, writing passwords down and leaving them in plain sight, or walking away from their workstation without locking their screen.

Unprotected Devices

Laptops and devices without passwords or physical security are vulnerable, especially when left unattended in public areas like hotels or conferences. Without proper protection, anyone can access your sensitive business data in minutes.

Using Unauthorised Devices

Employees often use USB drives or install unapproved software without realising the risk. In some cases, hackers intentionally leave malware-infected USBs in public areas for unsuspecting users to pick up and plug in.

Using Public Wi-Fi

Many people assume public Wi-Fi is safe. In reality, hackers can browse these networks, intercept data, or even access your device while connected.

Opening Suspicious Emails

One careless click on a malicious link can compromise your entire network. When in doubt, delete - even legitimate-looking emails can be dangerous.
