“Cyber security is a global issue of significant importance,” Mr Maloney said. “Every Department Head and Board Room in Australia must be thinking about how to protect the data they hold on to Australian businesses and citizens. This is no longer a compliance issue, or an issue Company Directors can walk past. Sovereignty of data is an important ingredient in this equation; and when we think about the word “data”
it’s even more important to think about how we define the word data.”
