cyber security for individuals
Cyber Security Awareness
An educational program designed to inform individuals about cybersecurity threats, best practices, and safe online behaviour. The goal is to enhance security awareness and reduce the risk of cyber threats such as phishing, malware, and social engineering. Cyber awareness training is essential for individuals to minimise cybersecurity risks and promote a security-conscious culture.
cyber security for individuals
Cyber Hygiene
The training teaches individuals essential practices to maintain a secure digital environment and protect sensitive information from cyber threats. It emphasises proactive security measures to prevent breaches, data loss, and malware infections. Cyber hygiene training is crucial for individuals to reduce vulnerabilities and maintain a safe and resilient digital environment.
Cyber security for organisations
Policies and Procedures
Cyber security policies and procedures are formal guidelines that organisations implement to protect their systems, networks, and data from cyber threats. A strong cyber security policy and well-defined procedures help organisations minimise security risks, ensure compliance with regulations, and create a culture of security awareness.
Cyber security for organisations
Compliance and Standards
Compliance refers to adhering to laws, regulations, and industry standards that govern data protection, privacy, and security practices. These regulations ensure that organisations implement appropriate security measures to protect their data and systems from cyber threats.
Cyber security for organisations
Cyber Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence is the process of collecting, analysing, and applying information about cyber threats to help organisations. It provides actionable insights into potential threats, cybercriminal tactics, and malware trends. Threat intelligence is an essential component of cyber security, enabling organisations to build a proactive defense strategy.

Defence Industry in Western Australia (21/09/25) The recent press conference held in Henderson, Western Australia, has brought a lot of excitement and opportunities in the defence industry in the state. "Today, I am pleased to announce my Government will provide $12 billion in new funding to the Henderson Defence Precinct right here in Western Australia. This brings our additional investment in defence over the next decade to $70 billion." - The Hon Anthony Albanese MP, Prime Minister of Australia Western Australia has been known as the mining capital of Australia. According to the Mining Magazine, WA generated AU$246 billion in sales in 2023. I have lived in Perth, WA, for the past 28 years, and I consider myself a Perth person. I often come into contact with people who work in the resources sector, with many of them coming from other states or countries. This makes me wonder, will the defence industry be the same? If the industry is growing, we are going to need more people to work in it. I am a teaching staff member at a government technical college, South Metropolitan TAFE, specialising in cyber security and information technology. The new Defence Industry Pathways Program was recently introduced in our portfolio, with the intention of helping students transition into the defence industry. I am privileged enough to be part of the team in educating the next generation of the defence workforce. Everything is looking up for many of us, more funding, more opportunities, and more collaborations across different sectors. I believe this is only the beginning of many wonderful things to come.
The Weakest Link (08/09/25)
In recent years, cybercrimes have been making news headlines, with many cases indicating significant damage to the victims. No one is safe; not only individuals or organisations are impacted, national states are also vulnerable to the attacks. Cyber security can be mysterious to a lot of people. In many of my conversations with people who do not know much about cyber security, the general assumption seems to be that cyber professionals are technical support. In fact, we can probably do technical support because we have to have enough knowledge about computers and how they work to do what we do. In reality, cyber security is not merely a technical support; it is much more than that. My favourite definition of cyber security is from IBM.
"Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting people, systems and data from cyberattacks by using various technologies, processes and policies." - IBM
The September 2025 cyber attack on Jaguar and Land Rover production is a form of supply chain attack. This type of attack has become a trend in recent years, due to the interconnected nature of the manufacturing sector. I attended a session delivered by Alladean Chidukwani, Senior Cyber Security Advisor at Bunnings Group, at the CyberWest Summit in 2024. The presentation discussed the nature of the supply chain and how the individual entities are part of the whole interconnected network, which means that if one of the entities is compromised, the rest of the chain can also be impacted.
In today's economy, we are all connected digitally and depend on the use of IT infrastructure to trade, purchase, and operate. We have become part of a very large interconnected digital global network. It is an undeniable fact to accept that none of us can survive completely isolated from connectivity and dependency. If we are looking at it from a cyber security perspective, this can be scary and daunting. Nonetheless, we can only do what we can within our own capacity to protect ourselves, either at organisational or individual levels, and try not to be the weakest link in the chain.
What about cyber security? (03/09/25)
I would like to start this blog by acknowledging that this blog would not have been started without the wonderful support of my loveliest, successful business coach and personal friend.
I see life as a journey, and everything that happens contributes to the person that we are today. Some nice things, some bad things, but all of that makes life valuable. At certain points in our lives, we face crossroads or need to make crucial decisions. The question is "What to do now?". We all have very different mentalities and approaches to life. Or at least I think I do, when I sit and compare the way I make decisions with many of my friends and family members.
Sometime during the COVID-19 lockdown in Western Australia, when most employees of many organisations were stood down and lived in fear about their next move in life. That is when I realised that I do need an additional job where I can use a computer to work. I assessed my options, and somehow cyber security stood out to me. I then decided to pursue the path by getting educated in the area. In the first month of online study, I was very worried about my decision. Coming from a non-technical background, going straight to protecting the computer system was a difficult challenge. I told myself that I know how to learn, and knowledge is consumed by repetition. So that was my process: I watched the lectures (after attending the actual lectures) several times, as long as it took for me to understand them. It was not easy, but I did it. After my first certificate, I went on to complete a Master of Cyber Security. And I am now doing my doctorate in the same field.
Cyber security is a serious issue in our modern society, with a rapidly evolving threat landscape and the development of technologies like AI, robotics, and IoT. We are seriously in trouble! I like to be more optimistic, but I really can't.
Along the way, I would love to introduce you all to different aspects of cyber security and show you how you may be able to protect yourselves and organisations from different cyber attacks.
