With more industries and business operations becoming increasingly computerised, the need to keep information safe and secure from an ever increasing variety of sophisticated threats and potential liabilities is now more important than ever before.
An unidentified IT issue has brought Sydney Airport to a standstill this morning as the airport was forced to halt the processing of outbound passengers to deal with the issue.
The IT issue came to light early Friday morning and affected passengers being processed through the T1 international and T2 domestic terminals, during which time the Sydney Airport instructed travellers to avoid the terminals until further notice.
As a result of the IT issue, queues began to form inside and outside the terminals with many travellers taking to social media to voice their frustration.
