Cyber Risk and Your Business.
Cyber incidents cost Australian businesses billions of dollars each year — and most of them succeed because of human behaviour, not technical failure. This course gives every member of your team the knowledge to protect your business, your clients and themselves.
THE PROBLEM
Cybercriminals do not discriminate by sector or size.
Australian businesses of every kind face the same core threats — phishing, payment fraud, ransomware, data theft and social engineering attacks that exploit trust rather than technology. In 2025, Australian businesses and individuals lost $2.18 billion to scams alone, with AI-enabled impersonation and highly targeted attacks making those threats harder to detect than ever.
The regulatory environment has also changed. The Privacy Act 1988 and the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 impose obligations on businesses handling personal information. The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act affects a growing number of sectors. Getting cyber risk education right is no longer just good practice — for many Australian businesses, it is a legal obligation.
This course was developed in consultation with chief risk officers, chief information security officers, an online teaching expert from a leading Australian university, and specialists in user experience and graphic design — to ensure the content is not just accurate, but genuinely effective at building lasting behaviour change.
