To help your practice strengthen its defences and reduce the risk of a cyber event, we’ve launched a new online Cybersecurity courseExternal Link tailored for small business owners.
October is Cyber Security Awareness Month - the perfect time to take action and strengthen your defences. In the 2023–24 financial year, the average cost of a cyber crime to a small business reached $49,600. As a tax professional, you know just how important it is to protect your clients’ privacy.
You can also share this course with your business clients, so they can learn how to protect themselves.
Cyber security doesn’t have to be complicated. This course breaks it down into clear, manageable steps - covering everything from understanding what cyber security is, to learning how to:
- protect your accounts, client 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 such as the Australian Cyber Security Centre, Scamwatch, and the Small Business Cyber Resilience Service.
