Most cyber attacks are easily avoided. No one wants to think about cybersecurity, but the reality is that one in four small businesses experienced a cyber attack or hacking attempt in Australia and New Zealand in 2017*. Nearly all data breaches start with compromised passwords – and could be easily avoided.
While the introduction of 2SA can feel like an unnecessary change for some, keeping up with best-practice security is a vital part of staying safe and responsible in business – and 2SA is a mandatory requirement from the ATO.
