Did you know that 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses and that the health sector is the top target for cyber criminals? A single attack can cost you, on average, $46,000 and result in your business closing for days, if not weeks.
As a pharmacist, pharmacy assistant or pharmacy employee, it is your responsibility to safeguard all identifiable client information by protecting your small business from cyber threats. The fallout from a cyber assault isn't limited to monetary damages - it also puts patient safety at risk and can permanently damage your business’s reputation.
That’s where Cyber Wardens comes in. Funded by the Australian Government and endorsed by the Australian Medical CPD Standard (AMcpdS), the free online program is self-paced and quick to complete.
