National Cyber Security Awareness Week


This week is National Cyber Security Awareness Week.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Week is an Australian Government initiative held annually in partnership with industry, community and consumer groups and all levels of government.  The aim of the Awareness Week is to help Australians better understand cybersecurity risks and the simple steps they can take to protect themselves and their children online.
For the 2010 National Cybersecurity Awareness Week more than 150 public and private sector organisations helped to promote cyber security messages through online activities and events around the country.
Information on how to stay safe and secure online can be found in any Sutherland Shire Library or by visiting the Stay Smart Online website.
