Hi John, The lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been directly responsible for a significant increase in cybercrime in Australia and globally, says security vendor Radware. The increased number of people working from home opened up many opportunities for hackers and criminals.
A new alliance led by global networking company Cisco and telco Optus in partnership with La Trobe and Curtin Universities has been formed to accelerate innovation, aimed at improving Australia’s long-term digital economic resilience and transformation. Global software companies, Microsoft and SAS, today announced an extensive technology and go-to-market partnership, bringing the “empowered cloud” in the form of SAS integrations inside Microsoft’s entire cloud portfolio, and Azure becoming the preferred platform for SAS Cloud. Three quarters of Australian executives acknowledge collaboration between humans and machines will be critical to innovation in the future – but only one-third are currently using human-centric design - according to a new technology report from management consulting and professional services firm Accenture. Threat intelligence outfit Recorded Future says it has discovered new malware that operates as a ransomware builder for the Microsoft Windows platform. Optus Sport is set to resume streaming of all 92 remaining live games when the English Premier League provisionally restarts on Thursday 18 June and a full round of fixtures begins on 20 June, after all matches were suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
