Following on from Scams Awareness Week, we wanted to share a few of our own tips.
Five simple habits worth building into your routine: slow down, verify independently, don't click unexpected links, protect your accounts and talk about it if it happens to you.
Scams work because they're designed to catch people off guard. Last year, they cost Australians more than $2 billion.
If Scams Awareness Week made you think about your own cyber habits, our Cyber Security Essentials course is a good next step. It's not just for people working in cyber. It's built for everyday Australians who want to stay safer online, as well as businesses and teams wanting to build that awareness across their workforce. Fully online and self-paced, covering 14 modules from phishing and malware identification to cyber hygiene and incident response. Absolutely no technical experience needed.
