Demand is particularly strong in Australia for cyber security services that strengthen the operational security of an organisation. This dominance of the services segment may be partly explained by around 95 per cent of all Australian businesses being small and medium-sized enterprises, largely lacking the scale and resources to run in-house cyber security management teams. This provides important insights into the understated role that SME’s play in lifting cyber resilience in Australia’s economy. This panel will explore how SME’s can take a more active role in engaging with government, research and other industry players to ensure that cyber security solutions are addressing their needs.
