Australians are urged to take simple steps to better protect themselves from common online threats and cybercrime during Cyber Security Awareness Month during October.

The 2021 theme is: “Do your Part. #BeCyberSmart.”

On 5 October, the Assistant Minister for Defence, the Hon Andrew Hastie MP, launched the ACSC’s Personal Cyber Security Series to help Australians understand the basics of cyber security with simple steps you can take today to protect yourself online.

The Personal Cyber Security: First Steps guide is the first in a series of three guides designed to help everyday Australians understand the basics of cyber security, and how you can act to protect yourself from common cyber threats.
