How can businesses and individuals navigate the complex terrain of cyber threats for a secure digital existence?

For small to medium business owners, the biggest challenge in the digital age is safeguarding their enterprises against relentless cyber threats. The evolving landscape of cyber attacks poses a significant risk, demanding vigilant measures to protect sensitive digital assets.

To assess the security of their digital assets, businesses can implement comprehensive measures. Regular cybersecurity audits, penetration testing, and employee training are essential steps. These measures not only evaluate existing vulnerabilities but also fortify the workforce against potential threats.

AI tools, while beneficial in various domains, present a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. Threat actors increasingly leverage AI for sophisticated attacks, exploiting vulnerabilities with unprecedented precision. This necessitates businesses to enhance their cybersecurity infrastructure, employing advanced AI-driven defence mechanisms.

In the unfortunate event of a suspected data breach without cyber insurance, Australian businesses should act swiftly. Initiating a thorough investigation, notifying affected parties, and seeking legal counsel become imperative steps. However, prevention is key, highlighting the importance of investing in robust cybersecurity measures and, where possible, obtaining comprehensive cyber insurance coverage.

Individuals working from home can bolster their cybersecurity by employing secure networks, updating software regularly, and using virtual private networks (VPNs). Vigilance against phishing attempts and implementing multifactor authentication further fortify an individual’s digital security, ensuring a safer remote work environment.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
