In this episode, Ami continues the conversation with Jeff Hawkes from Your IT Desk, diving deeper into the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight and what it means for general practice and healthcare businesses.

In this follow-up episode, the focus shifts to the next set of Essential Eight controls, unpacking how they apply in real-world practice operations, where clinics commonly fall short, and what leaders should be prioritising to strengthen IT compliance and cyber resilience.

This episode covers:

• Additional Essential Eight controls explained in plain English
• Practical IT and cyber risks facing general practice
• Why IT governance is a leadership responsibility — not just an IT issue
• Password Management - LastPass (#1 Password Manager & Vault App with Single-Sign On & MFA Solutions - LastPass)

A valuable listen for practice owners, managers, and operational leaders who want to better understand cyber risk, compliance, and how to protect their practice in an increasingly digital healthcare environment.
