To help your business strengthen its defences, we’ve launched a new online Cybersecurity courseExternal Link tailored for small business owners.
October is Cyber Security Awareness Month – a timely reminder that cyber threats are real, and every Australian business is at risk. In the 2023–24 financial year, the average cost of a cyber crime on a small business reached $49,600. That’s why protecting your business, your data, and your customers is more important than ever.
Cyber security doesn’t have to be complicated – with our free and flexible Cybersecurity course. It provides practical cyber security advice in clear and manageable steps, and you can do it online anytime that suits you.
You’ll explore case studies, and learn how to:
- protect your accounts, customer data, and digital systems
- use free or low-cost tools to boost your security
- respond to and recover from cyber incidents
- access trusted government resources like the Australian Cyber Security Centre, Scamwatch, and the Small Business Cyber Resilience Service.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been in business for years, cyber security threats are ongoing. So don’t wait for a cyber incident to find out how vulnerable your business might be and start strengthening your defences today.
