What if your DigitalSkills could help save a life?

In September, we gathered at The Platform and heard from Julia Yeow, from Destiny Rescue. Her powerful storytelling brought the realities of child exploitation into sharp focus—raw, confronting, and deeply human.

Now, we’re going deeper.

CyberWest Hub was proud to partner with the City of Gosnells and Ruman Sarawer (AISA) to deliver “AI for Small Business: What You Need to Know” at the City’s Monthly Business Forum. This session built on the success of our recent #CyberEssentials Workshop, continuing our shared commitment to helping local businesses strengthen #DigitalCapability and confidence in an evolving technology landscape.

Last night’s CyberConnect session, “Who’s in Your Code? The Supply Chain Plot Twist No One Saw Coming,” was a powerful reminder of how trust, speed, and complexity shape the cybersecurity landscape. Led by Fadzayi Chiwandire, Application Security Consultant at CyberCX, the session explored the invisible risks that come with modern software development—where 90% of code is sourced from third-party libraries, and every dependency is a potential entry point.

, we are honoured to have our Students of Cyber (SoC) by CyberWest Hub October series in partnership with RSM Australia, as part of our Cyber Awareness Month programming. The session opened with Bavani Chetty, Senior Manager at RSM, who shared a compelling overview of RSM’s work and impact in the cyber space. This was followed by inspiring career journeys from the RSM team — Kaylan Naicker , Joel Vermeulen, Suné Skinner, and Dale Carter — who offered students a real-world look into the diverse pathways available in cyber.
