Boost your cyber capability and learn how to secure your precious data with the Cyber Uplift Step Program (CUSP).

The South Australian Government has partnered with the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre to provide accessible and affordable cyber security education and support for small businesses.

The Cyber Uplift Step Program (CUSP) was designed to help more than 100 small businesses acquire important skills and knowledge to implement cyber security measures as part of their business operations.

The CUSP program was specifically for South Australian businesses with under 20 employees, or majority family-owned, take that first (or next step) with confidence.

Participants experienced the personalised guidance of a dedicated Cyber Coach who worked to understand their business, technology, and current cyber security landscape. This tailored program ensured a perfect fit for their journey towards enhanced protection.

"Our experience with CUSP has been great. As a small for-purpose organisation, without dedicated cybersecurity resourcing, CUSP provides us with a cost-effective solution to provide training and awareness across the business on cyber risks. The program's comprehensive approach ensures that Siblings Australia is equipped to address this critical business area within our organisational capacity."

- Dr Shannon Schedlich, Chief Executive, Siblings Australia
