Intersys Expands 24/7 Cyber Security Services to Australian Businesses Amid Landmark Cyber Security Act

MELBOURNE, Australia - Dec. 3, 2024 - PRLog -- Intersys, a leading UK-based managed service provider, has announced its expanded 24/7 Cyber Security as a Service (CSaaS) offering for Australian organisations in response to the newly passed Cyber Security Act. With the introduction of Australia's first cyber security legislation. Intersys's follow-the-sun IT and security services provide round-the-clock protection, ensuring compliance, operational efficiency, and peace of mind, either full-service or augmenting existing operations with a UK hours provider.

The Cyber Security Act: A Turning Point for Australian organisations

Australia's first standalone Cyber Security Act, part of the 2023-2030 Cyber Security Strategy, aims to fortify the nation's cyber resilience. Among its key provisions are:

• Mandatory ransomware payment reporting within 72 hours for certain businesses, with fines of up to $94,000 for non-compliance.
• Establishment of a Cyber Incident Review Board to analyse and provide actionable insights on major cyber incidents.
• IoT Cyber Security Standards, ensuring compliance for smart devices entering the Australian market.
• Enhanced collaboration between businesses and government during cyber security incidents, enabling rapid information sharing and support.

"The Cyber Security Act sets a new benchmark for businesses to strengthen their cyber defences," said Matthew Geyman, Director of Intersys Ltd. "Intersys' UK operation allows Australian organisations to quickly and efficiently scale their 24 hour cyber security and IT support operations. Governance and Compliance obligations around Cyber Risk Management, including Incident Review and securing the Supply Chain are simpler with Intersys' Follow-The-Sun service."
