Protect Working Holiday Maker (Backpacker) visas in Australia

Think your business is too small to be a target for cybercrime? The numbers say otherwise.

Australian businesses lodged a cybercrime report every 6 minutes last year. Western Australia alone accounted for 12% of them. And phishing (the classic dodgy email) was behind 60% of all incidents responded to by the Australian Signals Directorate.

The good news: most of these attacks are automated and opportunistic, which means a handful of simple habits stop the majority of them.

Our new Cyber Security Basics Series breaks it down in plain English, no jargon:
🔐 The real numbers behind the threat
🔐 The 8 controls that stop most attacks (MFA, backups, updates and more)
🔐 How to spot the invoice scams actually hitting local businesses
🔐 What to do in the first hours if something goes wrong
🔐 A simple system you can actually maintain

Five guides. No fear-mongering, just what you genuinely need to know.

Thinking about using AI in your business but not sure where to start? AI Adopt Centres can offer free, practical support to help businesses explore and trial AI solutions. From one-on-one advice to workshops and industry-specific guidance, there's support available if you're looking to adopt AI in your business.

There's a big difference between understanding that AI exists and knowing where it fits into what you do every day. You might have tested a tool or two. You might have ideas about what could work better. But moving from thinking about it to actually doing it can be the tricky part.
