Origins

The concept for this project first came about in 2018 when the founder was lecturing a group of criminology students. What she thought everyone knew about online safety and cybercrime was not as common knowledge asshe had presumed. Knowing that increased interconnectivity and other advances in technology will also lead to an increase in crime opportunities, she was concerned that so many users of technology, such as individuals and small business,  do not have the basic knowledge they need to keep themselves safe online.

The founder of Demystify Cyber

She is a firm believer that diversity in all its forms should be encouraged to promote innovation and find solutions to challenges facing the world. She has won multiple InfoSec industry awards, and in 2019 she was in the first cohort to be named a Fellow of the Australian Information Security Association (AISA). Amanda-Jane is an Adjunct lecturer in Criminology for the University of Queensland, presents on cybercrime at conferences, writes books on the subject, and is the founder of Demystify Cyber to help people stay safer from cybercrime.
