Legal Issues on Cybersecurity for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

Abstract

With the development of informatization and digitalization, small and medium-sized enterprises have occupied an important position in the Australian economy. However, the threats to cyber security are increasing day by day, leading to prominent legal compliance risks.
Based on the Australian legal system, this article sorts out the legal framework and policy orientation for small and medium-sized enterprises
in terms of cybersecurity, with a focus on analyzing the applicability and impact of regulations such as the Privacy Act, the Data Breach Notification System, the Critical Infrastructure Security Act, and the Cybersecurity Strategy on small and medium-sized enterprises. Research
shows that legal compliance is not only the foundation for enterprises to deal with cyber threats, but also an important guarantee for enhancing
market competitiveness and sustainable development.
