In this episode we have a really important conversation about cyber safety and staying safe online.
Dr Jesse is joined by Susan McLean, who is Australia’s leading expert in the area of cyber safety and was a member of Victoria Police for 27 years.
Susan was the first Victoria Police officer appointed to a position involving ‘cybersafety and young people’ where she established, and managed the Victoria Police Cyber Safety Project.
Today we’re talking about your people, your business policies, and the procedures you can initiate, and all the unseen factors that could go wrong.
It’s often something very simple, that has a catastrophic impact. It could be as simple as clicking on a dodgy email … or sometimes a whole lot more!
We want to make sure that you know what to do, and how to handle it should a cyber attack ever happen within your family or business. And if you think it won’t happen to you, well, press ‘play’ and listen to Susan McLean.
