What we do - Flinders University

Social Cyber Training

What we do

We equip organisations with knowledge and tools to protect social cohesion and democracy from the threats of digital technology.

Digital technology is driving so much of everyday life, and the repercussions are impacting us all. Addressing the digital harms threatening our communities and democracies won’t be easy – and they can’t be solved by technical solutions alone. Coming together to discuss the social aspects of the digital, data driven world is increasingly important.

We share our insights and help identify strategies to mitigate the threats of the digital world. We do this in a variety of ways.

Upcoming training and events

Tailored solutions

We can tailor a presentation, workshop or forum to your organisation’s unique needs and for busy professionals who are not technical experts.

We’ll bring the research, but translate the complex emerging digital ecosystem into easily understood language that can be effectively shared and actioned. Our flagship workshop, Navigating the Digital Dilemma: How governments can reap the benefits of digital technologies can be brought to your location, run by our knowledgeable team.

Navigating the Digital Dilemma: How governments can reap the benefits of digital technologies

Working in a government agency means facing unique and complex challenges. That's why our flagship workshop, Navigating the Digital Dilemma: How governments can reap the benefits of digital technologies has been designed specifically for public sector employees. The workshop will help you to:

Understand the digital ecosystem - the technologies and the pace, pervasiveness and veracity of cyber issues, and the power players and influencers in data and digital technologies
Recognise the threats of digital technologies to individuals, communities and democracy
Identify the public sector’s role in mitigating the perils of digital technologies
