Building Cyber Awareness in Sport
Sporting organisations hold significant volumes of personal data, process membership and registration payments, and increasingly face targeted cyber attacks. This course – licensed by the Australian Sports Commission – gives your entire sporting community the knowledge to protect themselves and your organisation.
THE PROBLEM
Australian sporting organisations of every size — from national bodies to local clubs — collect and hold personal data about athletes, members and volunteers at scale.
That data, combined with online payment systems for registrations, memberships and merchandise, makes sporting organisations an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals. Email fraud, payment redirection, social media impersonation and AI-enabled attacks on sporting identities are all active threats in the Australian sporting community.
Volunteers and non-professional staff — who make up the backbone of most Australian sporting organisations — often have little or no cyber awareness training, creating the human vulnerability that attackers exploit most readily. This course addresses that gap directly, using real-world sporting scenarios to make cyber risk feel immediate and the protective steps feel achievable for everyone from a national administrator to a weekend volunteer.
