2018 - THE TRANSFORMATION IS COMING!

Business is changing. Yours should too.

Digital is transforming business at a rapid rate. Last month we saw 'Low Power Wide Area Network' (LPWAN - 'narrowband') as an emerging technology.

This month Telstra announced 'narrowband' (the Internet of Things) as its strategic focus for 2018!

It's getting frantic! If you're not already on a digital transformation journey, you’d better get moving - or risk being outpaced by competitors.

Whether you’re an up-and-coming entrepreneur, or an established business owner, it's time to make sure your business is poised to make the most of this changing world.

The future success of your brand depends on it. That's when the Notifiable Data Breaches amendment becomes law, meaning Australian businesses must notify their consumers when a data hack, security threat or leak has occurred at their organisation.

An “Eligible Data Breach” is when an unauthorised disclosure or access to personal information has occurred, that is likely to risk serious harm to an individual. Or when personal information is lost in circumstance likely to ensure unauthorised disclosure or access.

Discussing any leak of personal data, data expert and Managing Director of EC Integrators, Emy Carr, says "I would say most of Australian businesses are not prepared enough or up to standard .... It would be especially damaging to small business, it could be the difference between your business surviving.”
