Tackling cyber-security apathy

Tyler Wise, founder and director of Wise Accounting, was first exposed to the brutality of cyber attacks when his firm experienced a malicious phishing attack. He now uses that experience to help other accountants better protect themselves, their firm, and their clients. In this episode of Accountants Daily Insider, Tyler previews his upcoming session at CPA Australia’s Public Practice Virtual Conference by looking at why accountants are more exposed than ever to cyber-security risks in a remote working environment, and the financial and reputational consequences that come with breaches. Tyler also looks to dispel the myth around cyber-security costs that could be holding practices back from taking action, and gives his top tips on how practices can protect themselves today. Find out more about Tyler’s in-depth session, other industry changes and technical updates at CPA Australia’s Public Practice Virtual Conference on 19 August.
