Data Security Tops Australian Public’s Concerns

The 2018 Unisys Security Index™ Report shows that  the top 3 security concerns of Australians relate to data security:

  • Identity Theft: 57 percent of Australians are extremely or very concerned about unauthorised access to, or misuse of, personal information.
  • Bank Card Fraud: 52 percent of Australians are concerned about other people obtaining or using their credit/debit card details.
  • Internet Virus/Hacking: 53 percent of Australians are concerned about these issues.

Whilst identity theft is the highest concern, the research found that Australians are more comfortable using digital identities to engage with government, than with commercial or financial service organisation.
