Cyber concerns still rife as Casey remains safe with recent data breach

Casey Council in Australia was not affected by data breaches experienced by after-hours service provider OracleCMS. The council’s chief information officer, Clint Allsop, said no systems or personal data had been compromised and there were no direct links with OracleCMS. However, Robin Doss, a professor at Deakin University, warned that such breaches affect community confidence in councils’ abilities to protect data. He also highlighted the responsibility of councils to ensure effective security measures are in place across their supply chains.
