Miniassian, commenting on the current threat landscape in Australia, says that in the majority of cases of security breaches, it’s “opportunistic, and very few organisations find themselves subject to targeted APTs.
“Basically, what you’re up against is a bunch of hopeful, financially motivated IT-savvy crooks who build an infrastructure designed to attack virtually everyone and anyone,” says Miniassian.
“The threat landscape is in a state of constant flux: as organisations shift to defend against one set of attacks, attackers are quick to develop tactics and techniques that make defences obsolete. So, our protective controls are constantly being tested. And, as defenders, we can never afford to drop our guard.”
