*Figures are averages
**Business Email Compromise Fraud, email compromise with reported financial loss
To put these figures into perspective, cyber-attacks more or less inflict as much loss as the cost of starting a business in Sydney. A seemingly harmless data breach or email fraud can end up costing a business to the point of closing its doors. And seeing how lucrative cyber crime can be, perpetrators have every reason to double down moving forward.

Meets ACSC Essential Eight Model Maturity Level Two
The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) Essential Eight security strategy is the cornerstone of our managed IT services Sydney business owners depend on. As the term suggests, it’s a collection of eight cyber security best practices that any business or organisation can employ.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between email compromise and BEC fraud?
According to the ASD Cyber Threat Report, the difference between the two is the presence of recorded financial loss. Email compromise doesn’t necessarily have to result in losing money, but BEC fraud does.

What is the Dark Web?
Also called the Dark Net, the Dark Web is the portion of the larger Internet that can only be accessed with certain protocols. It’s a hotbed for cyber-criminal activity because it isn’t as openly accessible as the Web.
Last updated:
Is compliance with the Essential Eight required?
Private entities like businesses and non-government organisations aren’t legally required to comply with Essential Eight. However, we strongly encourage you to do so anyway, as it provides more effective protection against data breaches and cyber threats.
