System Security
Hackers! The biggest security risk to any modern business. And the problem is growing.
In an interview, Jason Drew, CEO of Secom, confirmed that there are many areas in clubs and hotels that provide opportunities for hackers.
“Instances of hackers gaining access to club data is becoming more and more common. The hackers are after money, and the easiest way to gain that quickly is to hack a database with personal information, ransom it back to the club it was stolen from and sell off the data list anyway.“
According to Jason “third-party hardware and software technologies, while often adding to business efficiencies, are a risk that hackers can easily exploit. One of the recent places hackers have started to exploit is through Microsoft software, commonly used by SME’s with limited control over accounts and shared passwords.”
Hacking has become so common that Jason has now developed a Cyber Security Division to help clubs proactively manage their system security and third-party integrations through the implementation of “The Essential 8” developed by the Australian Signals Directorate.
