Cyber solutions for the mid market

Your cyber security team, when you need us.

The average cost of a cyber attack to a business is $274k^, yet almost half of businesses only spend $500 a year protecting their business.*

Australian consumers are becoming more concerned about cyber security, and trust in a company's ability to protect their information is becoming a key decision maker in who they do business with.

Cybercrime is currently believed to cost Australians more than $1 billion every year, and businesses in both the private and public sector have been compromised. This heightened risk environment, coupled with increased regulatory requirements, means that cyber security needs to be a key priority and area of concern for organisations, and it's not just IT departments that are bearing the burden. Boards, audit committee and executives are responsible for ensuring and demonstrating to customers, employees and all stakeholders and regulators that appropriate safeguards are in place.

Cyber is a whole-of-business concern.

KPMG's specialised cyber solutions offering is tailored to help private, mid market and family business outpace cyber threats and protect their most important assets - their customers, their business, their people and their data. Our dedicated cyber team can help our clients implement the building blocks for a cyber resilient organisation so they have the confidence to focus on what will truly make an impact and help them succeed.
