Stay Smart Online
February 2, 2017
Cyber-attacks cost organisations like yours thousands of dollars and cause lengthy periods of disruption. Do you have a plan for what you would do if your customer database was stolen, your website was forced offline, or you couldn’t access your email or business-critical data? Cyber criminals don’t just attack banks and large companies – they target any organisation which isn’t properly protected, even small businesses – like yours.
The Australian Government’s Stay Smart Online initiative has developed a range of short Guides to help individuals and businesses put in place some basic online security habits.
Each Guide includes simple and practical information about how to protect our online activities, whether at home, work, school or on the go.
