Tegan DeClark | Founder of Cybernao

Master of Marketing | Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security | Currently completing the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

Tegan DeClark founded Cybernao with a clear vision: to make cyber awareness training both fun and effective.

Her background spans sales and marketing, corporate operations, consumer behaviour research, and university teaching in Australia and internationally. Having worked within corporate environments, Tegan understands how organisational systems, processes, competing priorities and everyday human decisions can create business and cyber risk.

Her academic and teaching experience gives her a strong understanding of how people learn, what keeps them engaged and how to turn complex information into practical, memorable education.

Tegan’s background spans theatre, film and television, giving her a strong foundation in storytelling, performance and audience engagement. Combined with her cyber security knowledge and commitment to helping people and organisations stay ahead of hackers, scammers and social engineering, this experience shaped cybernao’s immersive, practical and deliberately entertaining approach to cyber awareness training.

Tegan is available for media commentary and expert opinion on cyber awareness, scams, social engineering and human behaviour, particularly how criminals exploit trust, urgency and emotion to influence decision-making.

In her own words:

“There hasn’t been an overhaul of the way businesses train staff on Cyber Security risks. It is usually boring, time-consuming but critical for all cyber insurance offerings, for the Essential Eight Maturity model and ISO27001 compliance. Compliance.

It feels like when you do cyber awareness training it is a check box exercise, it would be great if it changed people’s behaviour and in reality it just gives us the do’s and the don’ts. Maybe, if we made it into a murder-mystery, spy game, who-dunnit style interactive work-shop, people might actually be able to have the tools to identify and stop a social engineering cyber attack or scam.

If you have to learn something which could possibly prevent a major cyber incident in the workplace, then let’s do it right, let’s make it fun and let’s actually learn something.”
