Information sessions on how to protect yourself or your business from online security threats will be held in Redlands Coast this month(November).
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said the cyber security information sessions at the Redland Performing Arts Centre on 29 November would be tailored to suit two areas of the community.
“The morning session will highlight the cyber threats facing individuals and older Redlands Coast residents, as well as offering tips on how to protect yourself online,” Cr Williams said.
“While the next session will be aimed at small and medium businesses and will explain how they can protect themselves from the most common cyber security threats.
“These events are part of the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Small and Medium Enterprise Week and are run by the ACSC and proudly supported by Redland City Council.
“So much of what we do today is online. We rely on online systems to run our businesses and our lives.
“Criminals are always coming up with new ways to sneak into our systems and disrupt your business.
“The ACSC is the Australian Government’s lead operational agency for national cyber security. It provides free cyber security advice and support to Australian individuals, businesses, and organisations which can enhance your awareness and protect you online.”
