Join Craig Rosewarne
Managing Director, Wolfpack Information Risk at the Half Day workshop on Cyber Self-Defence
Workshop overview
This interactive workshop will educate participants on the various personal cyber threats that individuals face. Just as it is important to learn how to defend against an attacker in the physical realm, with our growing dependence on the digital realm, we need to learn similar survival skills. We will cover a range of topics from basic cyber hygiene practices to advanced techniques to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect yourself, your family and organisation.
