Breaches of cyber security cost Australian small businesses $29b last year, and with about 60% of firms at risk, the industry’s peak body is moving to do something about the problem. The Council of Small Business Organisations Australia chair, Matthew Eddison, says the new cyberwardens program will help stop the criminals.
