Cybersecurity remains a top priority for Australian businesses - and with good reason, considering some of the high profile attacks on companies like port operator DP World, or last year's breach at Optus.

For the third year, McGrathNicol Advisory has partnered with YouGov to survey 500 Australian business owners, partners, directors and C-Suite leaders, on the ransomware threat facing Australian businesses.

Darren Hopkins and Blare Sutton, cyber partners at McGrathNicol Advisory, talk to Sean Aylmer about why so many businesses are still paying $1 million or more in ransom - and the sector that's likely to be targeted more in the coming year.
