All businesses are targets for cyber attacks
Cybercrime is predicted to lead to the biggest transfer of wealth in human history. In Australia cyber security incidents have been estimated to cost businesses up to $33 billion per year.
All businesses, especially those that collect sensitive personal information such as customers’ personal contact details and credit card numbers can be targeted for the theft of information, ransomware, cyber extortion and payment redirection frauds.
Cyber criminals now target organisations via their people
More than 90% of cyber attacks are launched via an email, meaning that people are now either an organisation’s weakest link or their strongest resource in resisting cyber attacks. While education is vital, a key challenge for many organisations is achieving employee engagement because of the commonly held belief that cyber risk is the responsibility of the IT department only.
For behavioural change to occur education needs to be practical, engaging and compelling. The more relevant, contextual and industry- specific the training scenarios, the more participants will understand "this could actually happen to me".
This course is not “tick and flick” cyber compliance. By explaining how devastating these events are for companies and individuals, and the business and legal impacts, we motivate participants to change their practices to protect themselves, their business and their clients.
