A critical cybersecurity alert emerges from UpGuard's latest ASX 200 Cybersecurity Report.

A critical cybersecurity alert emerges from UpGuard's latest ASX 200 Cybersecurity Report. A staggering one in ten of Australia's largest companies are actively infected by dark web infostealers. While security scores saw a marginal improvement, UpGuard emphasizes this was driven by reactive post-incident fixes, not proactive strategy. Identity is flagged as the primary attack vector, with credentials widely circulating, particularly among the largest organizations. The report also warns of significant supply chain cascade risks due to reliance on shared SaaS platforms, and highlights encryption as the weakest link for the second year running.
