In a world where cyber-attacks on organisations large and small appear common place, corporate data breaches expose the personal information of hundreds of thousands of people to the dark web, and digital identity theft is increasingly widespread. We need the knowledge to distinguish the myths from the reality and the methods to avoid the attention of cybercriminals.

Ernie, our speaker, has insight into the particular issues relevant to Religious Institutes. He will set the scene and take us through what should be done to get the best outcomes in cyber security. Ernie will cover these and other topics: Status of Cybercrime in Australia and globally, 2023 cybersecurity trends, and what to watch out for, e.g. insurance, risk, banking issues, scams; credit card, phone, email, toll scams, systems protection.
