"Stop the Digital Criminals With Basic Cyber Hygiene Practices"
Cybersecurity experts call for a new, more collaborative, and transparent strategy to combat cyberattacks. Although 99 percent of attempted cyberattacks are thwarted, the remaining 1 percent cause economic harm and significant reputational, legal, and personal damages. Associate Professor Mamello Thinyane, the Optus Chair of Cybersecurity and Data Science at the University of South Australia, emphasizes that individuals, businesses, and governments must all share the responsibility. Organizations have been reluctant to publicize their cyberattack experiences out of concern for reputational damage and legal repercussions. However, Thinyane argues that improving collective intelligence and lowering the barriers for victimized companies is important. This article continues to discuss insights on strengthening cybersecurity.
