The global cyber threat is evolving at rapid pace and is now one of the most pervasive threats facing Australia. In FY20, the Australian Cyber Security Centre responded to 2,266 cyber security incidents and received 59,806 cybercrime reports, an average of one every 10 minutes.

- An introduction to cyber security, including types of cyber threats, risks and defences, and why COVID-19 has increased the risk of cyber breaches.
- An overview of the federal government’s cyber security strategy and recent investment announcement.
- Protecting you and your stakeholders against cyber-attacks.
