The Privacy Act 1988 establishes the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as the foundation of privacy regulation in Australia. These 13 principles guide how organizations must handle, use, and manage personal information. The APPs apply to most Australian Government agencies, private organizations earning over $3 million annually, and certain smaller businesses—collectively called APP entities. For organizations doing business in Australia, APP compliance goes beyond avoiding penalties.

All security professionals know third-party risk management doesn’t stop after one risk assessment. What about the next vendor? Or the future risks the vendors you’ve already evaluated will inevitably endure? While completing even a single risk assessment can feel like an arduous journey when done manually, all successful TPRM programs continue long after assessment.

Staying ahead of the game is a top concern for security teams as the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve rapidly. Every year seems to bring new technological advances, which also introduce new cybersecurity trends and significant risks. As organizations face these challenges, it’s essential to build proactive defenses, not reactive responses. The next big cyber threat is already here—ready or not.

Ransomware is no longer in its heyday. Evolving, AI-driven cybersecurity tools and global law enforcement efforts have seen to that. But that doesn’t mean ransomware is no longer a threat. In fact, in some ways, the danger is greater than ever. While ransomware attacks are less common than they used to be, the consequences of those that succeed are more severe. Earlier this year, the Ponemon Institute published a study revealing massive changes in the ransomware landscape.

Cyber fraud has skyrocketed from a growing concern to the leading driver of payment fraud in the UK, infiltrating most businesses in the country and exposing them to previously unimagined financial and operational risks.

At St. Louis TechWeek 2025, AI took center stage as industry thought leaders shared sessions warning about inputs, data health, and how agents are the new attack surface.

Developers worldwide continue to adopt AI to speed up software delivery. But this speed often impacts security, as developers assume AI-generated code is secure without thoroughly checking for errors or vulnerabilities.

In keeping with Bitsight's ongoing commitment to making its ratings more meaningful and more representative of an ever-changing Cybersecurity landscape, the Ratings Algorithm Update for 2025 is scheduled to go into preview on April 8, 2025.
