Experts Comments On Billabong And Quiksilver Hit By Cyber Attack

The link between surfing and cybersecurity might not seem obvious, but recent attacks on Billabong and Quiksilver teach us two things.

First, every company is a software company. Businesses use software every day for commerce, banking, marketing, communication, payroll, and dozens of other functions. In addition, many businesses create products that include their own software.

Second, cybersecurity matters to everyone. No organisation can say “that won’t happen to us” or “cybercriminals don’t care about us.” Every organisation, no matter its function or size, must be aware of cybersecurity and make smart decisions to minimise risk.
