About our speaker, Michael Ouwerkerk

Cyber security doesn’t have to be boring! With over 25 years of experience in the IT sector, working in the UK, NZ, and Australia, Mike Ouwerkerki identified that most IT security issues are caused through a lack of knowledge and education. This realisation led Mike to establish an IT/cyber security awareness program which he delivers throughout Australia to the SME sector and larger organisations. His passion is to ensure that people are trained in how to identify IT security threats, and respond appropriately to avoid damage to the business. Mike ensures his workshops are engaging and educational so people can build confidence in working with technology every day.
