Social Cyber Group

Body

The Social Cyber Group (SCG) helps create the organisational insights that corporations and agencies need to complement their cyber security technologies. SCG helps them develop and grow their 'social cyber value'. SCG offers a self-managed form of enhanced cyber insurance.

With a Canberra HQ, SCG began as a startup at the University of New South Wales Canberra in 2018 after being challenged to monetise social science expertise to support better cyber security outcomes. Leading intelligence agencies have promoted a similar goal. SCG engages in projects in Australia and overseas.

The leaders of the Social Cyber Group have shared their expertise with leading government agencies in Australia and overseas. SCG created the concept of 'social cyber value'. SCG operates at the leading edge of policy analysis and mobilisation, often behind the scenes.

Cyber security expertise and capability

The Social Cyber Group creates organisational insight essential for cyber security. It shapes opportunities for leaders in business and government to craft an enduring but flexible set of policies and procedures to ensure that technical security measures operate inside a healthy social cyber ecosystem. This ensures a comprehensive approach to reducing cyber incompetence, insecurity, and disinformation risks while maximising the gains from digital transformation.
