Starting with the necessary fundamentals of cybersecurity, it covers some of the technical and non-technical skills that are key to the cybersecurity domain. The challenges posed by cyber affect every aspect of our society, and so a toolkit that builds general cyber knowledge helps protect people, their everyday activities. It provides a basis for developing deep content expertise and options for careers in cyber."
~Lesley Seebeck – Professor in the Practice of Cybersecurity at the Australian National University
"Cyber is part of everyone’s world now and computer security has become part of everyone’s responsibility. We live in an information age so there are really no excuses not to learn about it. Teachers, schools, and kids are increasingly becoming the target to malicious cyber-threats. It is paramount that we protect the most vulnerable part of our community and keep them out of harms way. The way we do this is to ensure they understand the basics of cyber and empower them with skills so that they can manage the growing online risks that they face daily."
