Can the channel capitalise on Australia's new mandatory data breach notification laws?

Within six months, the security conversation across the country will have changed, for both customers and partners. Australia’s data breach notification laws – which will come in effect by 22 February 2018 – impose mandatory investigation and notification requirements on most businesses with an annual turnover greater than $3 million. Yet most local IT executives remain unprepared to handle the requirements, creating a need for external guidance and advice. Step forward the channel, who will be called upon to deliver outcome-driven solutions, solid security insights and unparalleled levels of ongoing service. This exclusive ARN Roundtable - in association with F5 Networks; SecureSoft; Sophos and Trustwave -​ deep-dived into the end-user impact of Australia’s data breach notification laws, outlining key opportunities and challenges for the channel, alongside how security-focused partners can capitalise.
