Cybersecurity in Spanish
GUANACO
Empower, prevent, and take action so you can protect your data, finances, and loved ones online.
Our Program’s Objective
The Guanaco Program is a Spanish-language cyber awareness initiative by LatinOz QLD, inspired by the Australian Government’s "Act Now, Stay Secure" campaign and its message:
“What are you risking online?”
Supported by the Department of Home Affairs, Guanaco responds to the rise in cybercrimes like scams, identity theft, and online fraud, which have led to:
-
Financial loss
-
Emotional stress
-
Family disruption
-
Business reputation damage
-
Unsafe content for children
-
Loss of personal or business data
Australia is a frequent cyber attack target—Spanish speakers are not exempt.
Guanaco offers workshops, resources, and support—all in Spanish—to help individuals, families, and entrepreneurs stay safe online.
Why "Guanaco"?
The guanaco, a native South American animal, is known for its vigilance and resilience—always alert, always ready to warn others of danger.
The Guanaco Program draws from this spirit:
protecting our community from online threats through awareness, unity, and strength.
The guanaco in our logo stands for:
-
Vigilance – staying alert to digital risks
-
Unity – supporting one another
-
Resilience – adapting in tough times
-
Cultural pride – honouring our Latin American roots
Together, we protect our digital herd.

Each interactive session features speakers covering a range of timely topics, strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, how to spot scams (parcel, marketplace, gift cards, AI “deepfakes”), and keeping devices up to date, and includes time for live Q&A so you can ask your own questions in real time.
