Cyber Smart: Prevent, Protect & Respond – Building Everyday Cyber Awareness

From phishing scams and fake websites to data breaches and ransomware, cyber threats are now part of everyday life. In Aotearoa New Zealand, both individuals and businesses are increasingly being targeted — often not by chance, but because we let our guard down.

Our new Cyber Smart: Prevent, Protect & Respond course is designed to make cyber security simple, practical, and relevant to everyone. Whether you’re protecting your personal devices or managing business data, this course gives you the tools and confidence to stay one step ahead.

What You’ll Learn

Through 15 short, engaging modules, you’ll explore:

• How to recognise common cyber threats like phishing, malware, and ransomware
• Why human error is still the biggest risk — and how to avoid it
• Best practices for strong passwords, safe browsing, and secure devices
• How to protect sensitive data and comply with NZ privacy laws
• Steps to take if your organisation experiences a cyber incident
• How leaders and teams can build a workplace culture of awareness

Every module is interactive, with real-world examples, short quizzes, and visual infographics that make learning clear and enjoyable.

Why It Matters

Cyber incidents can disrupt business operations, damage reputations, and cause financial loss — but most can be prevented through simple, consistent habits. Our Cyber Smart course helps you and your team understand not just what to do, but why it matters.

Built for real people (not tech experts), it aligns with New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020 and industry best practice under the HSWA 2015. It’s a proactive, practical way to strengthen your digital defences before an incident occurs.
