The Australian cyber security and cloud services provider has opened a new 865-square-metre office in Fortitude Valley.
AUCloud announced that the office had been designed to enhance client collaboration as well as employee experience for its cyber security, cloud engineering and managed IT staff.
The announcement comes ahead of the company’s plan to open a new Canberra office in early September.
AUCloud has a team of 100 cyber security experts in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide.
The new Fortitude Valley office will ensure the company can continue delivering for their clients, CEO Peter Maloney said.
“We designed our new workspace to foster an environment where our teams can collaborate effectively, ensuring that we continue to support the growing needs of our clients across government and corporate Australia,” Maloney said.
“The opening of this new office follows recent acquisitions and further represents our position as a leading provider in the sector. It allows us to better support our employees and deliver outstanding results and support for our customers.”
The new space will include collaboration spaces, quiet rooms, integrated mobile and meeting rooms and relaxation areas, the company confirmed.
“We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing to drive growth and innovation in the cyber security and cloud services industry,” Maloney said.
The office opening comes just two months after the company launched its 2024 Cyber Security Healthcare Report, following a 71 per cent year-on-year increase in cyber attacks on the industry.
“Globally, there has been a 71 per cent year-on-year increase in cyber attacks targeting healthcare organisations, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) reporting that cyber attacks on healthcare institutions pose a significant threat to global health security,” the report said.
“Closer to home, the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) revealed 41 per cent of healthcare organisations in Australia experienced a cyber attack in 2023.”
Released at Cyber Daily’s Australian Cyber Security Summit, the report shares results from a poll of 1,000 Australian voting adults on the sentiment around healthcare data, courtesy of YouGov.
The report found that 82 per cent of respondents are worried about unauthorised access to personal health records.
“One-third of those surveyed said they were ‘very to extremely worried’ about personal or family’s personal health records being accessed without permission,” the report said.
