With many Australians spending more time working from home than ever before, technology and staying ‘connected’ has become much more prominent, leaving our homes and families considerably more exposed to inherent cyber risks that most of us haven’t faced before.
The number of internet-connected devices per Australian household is also growing rapidly. In 2021, there was an average of 20.5 devices per household. By 2025, that number is forecast to reach 33.8, representing a 165% growth rate.
