For small to medium businesses, scams can now look remarkably convincing. Fraudulent invoices, emails that appear to come from someone you know, cloned voices and realistic websites are all becoming easier to create using AI.
Business Victoria has put together a useful guide explaining some of the newer risks and the checks businesses can put in place to help reduce the chance of being caught out.
A few extra minutes spent checking a payment request, confirming changed bank details or verifying an unusual message through another trusted contact method can make a real difference.

Cyber risk is increasingly part of everyday business risk management. For small to medium businesses across Bendigo and Central Victoria, particularly those without dedicated IT or security teams, having simple verification processes in place is becoming increasingly important.
Cyber insurance can form one part of a broader approach to managing cyber risk. If you’d like to review your business’s current cover and understand the options available, get in touch with the Insura Broking Group team.
