Cyber Security Awareness Training for Melbourne Businesses

Stop a cyber breach before it hits your small business
With Melbourne businesses increasingly relying on technology, they’re also being exposed to ever-increasing sophisticated cyberattacks.
But it’s not only your devices at risk; your people are too. That’s why cybersecurity awareness training is a smart move in today’s digital world.
At 1300 InTech, we’re not just your IT provider — we’re your cybersecurity partner, focused on protecting your business.
Our training helps employees spot and stop attacks before they cause harm. This keeps your business safe and strong.

Why cybersecurity training matters for every business
Even the most advanced security software can’t stop every threat — because many cyber incidents start with people, not systems.
According to the OAIC’s 2024 Data Breach Report, nearly 1 in 3 data breaches (30%) occurred because an employee clicked a suspicious link or opened a malicious attachment.
That’s not carelessness; it’s a lack of awareness. And that’s why cyber security awareness training is now essential for every business, large or small.
When your employees understand how cybercriminals think, they can spot phishing emails, scams, and social engineering attempts before any damage is done.
Regular cyber security online training turns your staff into powerful human firewalls — your cheapest and best defence against costly breaches. At 1300 InTech, our cyber security awareness training for employees is designed for real-world small business environments.
Train your team:
✓ Recognise scams and phishing attempts instantly
✓ Practice strong password and device security habits
✓ Understand data protection responsibilities under Australian privacy laws
✓ Build a culture of everyday cyber awareness in
✓ Only 5-8 minutes per fortnight
✓ And lots more
Best of all, this cyber security staff awareness training costs just $8 per employee per month. Better yet, claim a FREE 6-week trial (normally 14 days) for every staff member by downloading a copy of our handy '2025 Data Breach Policy Guide for Small Business', your roadmap to understanding how you can protect your business and staff from cyber threats.
Why Melbourne businesses need cybersecurity training
Every Melbourne business depends on staying operational — yet cyberattacks can bring that to a halt in moments. With cybercrime on the rise, even a single breach can trigger costly downtime, data loss, and reputational damage. That’s why all businesses today need to incorporate ongoing cyber security awareness training as a regular, critical part of everyday operations. Here are three ways our automated training program helps small businesses stay secure and productive:
Prevent costly human error
Most data breaches start with one simple mistake — clicking a fake link, opening a malicious attachment, or reusing a weak password.
Through cyber security awareness training, your staff learns how to spot red flags and take safe action before a threat spreads.
Reduce downtime and recovery costs
A single cyber incident can disrupt operations for days and cost thousands in lost productivity.
Training employees to spot and report threats early helps prevent downtime and lowers recovery costs after a breach.
Strengthen trust and reputation
When your employees understand how to safeguard information, your customers will notice.
Regular staff awareness training shows your commitment to protecting data and meeting privacy obligations.

How our cybersecurity training works
How ready is your cyber team?
Every great training program starts with knowing where you stand. That’s why our informative 'GAP Analysis' is the first step in your 6-week cybersecurity training trial.
Each employee completes a short, engaging questionnaire that measures their current cyber awareness and highlights potential weak spots. This reveals who’s most at risk of falling victim to cybercrime.
From there, the platform automatically builds a customised learning path for each team member, targeting their weakest skills first; and so a variety of courses are being utilised each fortnight.
Managers gain access to a real-time dashboard, providing clear visibility across the team’s cyber security readiness levels, progress, and areas needing extra attention — turning insights into action.
Continuous learning fits into your fortnight
Cybersecurity awareness isn’t a one-off exercise; it’s a habit. Our ongoing micro-courses keep teams alert, informed, and confident without disrupting daily operations.
After completing the GAP Analysis, each employee begins a tailored series of bite-sized training modules featuring short, engaging videos and practical tips designed to build lasting cyber-safe habits.
Each module ends with a 10-question quiz, explaining the reasoning behind key cybersecurity concepts. This reinforces the lessons learned and explains the 'why' behind key cybersecurity principles, helping knowledge stick.
New topics are released every two weeks, allowing staff to gradually master all 12 core areas of cybersecurity awareness while staying productive.
To stay ahead of evolving threats, course content is regularly updated and refreshed, ensuring your team remains informed, confident, and protected year-round.
Reporting: cybersecurity analytics and performance
At the end of each quiz, employees are scored out of 100%. As management, you’ll be able to track results in your company portal and monitor progress.
While some employees may initially need improvement in certain areas, the training is designed to build steady competence across all twelve aspects of cyber hygiene.
If requested, our IT Help Desk can also schedule a phishing simulation to test staff in real-world conditions — helping confirm whether the lessons stick and whether your team is ready for future cyber threats.

Over the years we have worked with many of their specialists, and they all have been so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, they always find a solution to every issue we have had.

We have also bought our laptops and computers and security systems from INTECH, we receive them promptly and they set them up, another painless transition always.

I have been working with 1300 INTECH for over 16 years as they have been the provider of IT support for our organisation, South East Volunteers (SEV). We are a non-profit organisation and as such money can be a bit on the tight side. 1300 INTECH have taken that into consideration and have provided us with first class service that we can afford.
They have supported our programs and sometimes our lack of IT understanding and have not worked for us, but with us. When I first commenced at SEV, there were only 2 email addresses and very little Internet service. 1300 INTECH provided us with advice and support to bring our organisation in line with best practice. They advised us on software, hardware and answered our many concerns with patience and, to some extent, kind humour.
We did have a time many years ago, that we were hacked and held to ransom. InTech stepped up, worked long into the wee hours of the morning to secure our systems, and updates us with extra firewalls – and more training for staff on what NOT to do.
At the commencement of lockdown, Intech jumped into action and got all 15 of our staff connected to MS Teams, laptops and gave us Zoom lessons – all within about a 48-hour time frame. There was no such thing as too many phone calls or silly questions.
1300 INTECH took SEV from an organisation with only 2 email addresses to what we are today, with the latest technology (MS Teams phones, WIFI, Remote Working Spaces, VPN) and ensures that we are cybersafe at all times.
I have worked with all of the staff at 1300 INTECH , and I must say that I have not found a lemon amongst them. They all have their “specialties”, but they work well as a team, and complement each other. They provide personal service and extremely professional work ethic, but not forgetting that we are not IT gurus and sometimes we need a bit more explanations.
I cannot recommend Emmanuel and his team at 1300 INTECH highly enough and I am extremely grateful for the service they have provided for us in the past and will continue to provide us into the future.

Manager | South East Volunteers
Before we partnered with 1300 INTECH, we had an outdated computer system that wasn’t meeting our needs. 1300 INTECH came in and redesigned our entire system, sourcing hardware and software, meeting our needs, now and into the future, exceeding our expectations all whilst coming in on budget.
They kept us informed every step of the way and have supported us since the installation, making sure we have minimum downtime and disruption in resolving any issues that arise. The technicians at 1300 INTECH always provide unmatched customer service and we would highly recommend using them.

We had no idea what to do when ‘Cryptolocker’ infected one of our computers a few Friday’s ago. But a single call to our IT Support Group, 1300 INTECH, was all it took to get the ball rolling to fix our problem.
We were back up and running on Monday morning and didn’t lose a single file.
They’ve looked after our Computer Networks for over 5 years now and their service is always exemplary.
Rating: Highly recommended
