Thank you, Anu, for welcoming me and facilitating my learning at the Ask The Expert Roundtable on Cybersecurity for SMEs at APSS Convention 2023. The theme for the convention - IMPACT - was further elevated for me when I attended your session. I found it most relevant to talk and learn about the implication of cybersecurity to me as an individual and more broadly as a SME business owner. I feel that many things are taken for granted and right now, even more than ever, cybersecurity from a personal space is becoming paramount in business continuity and cyber theft. You helped me understand the forward-looking needs to be more proactive, more deliberate, and more alert on what can go wrong. Thank you for creating this awareness for me.

"Dr Anu’s classes were my first entry to knowledge about cybercrime. Dr Anu not only taught me about the types of cybercrimes online and worldwide, she also gave a holistic overview about the institutions and factors in relation to cybercrime. Through her class, I honed my critical thinking skills and I am able to analyse how the development and vulnerabilities of technology have allowed online crimes to happen. Additionally, I was able to maintain a sociological perspective and make the link between online crimes and offline sociality, policies and enforcement. For example, I am able to understand how lack of cyber hygiene in the offline space as well as the limits of laws and enforcement in the online space all contribute to online hacking. Her classes were very insightful, to say the least, and they have sparked my interest in cybercrime as a whole. Join one of her classes! I’m sure every session will be eye-opening— I say this from experience!"

"Dr. Rao explained to us the importance of cyber security very clearly while we've been struggling to find a balance for our 9 year's old child's online time. Especially during the pandemic children are not allowed real contacts and spend quite a lot of time online, many parents can benefit from guidance and tools that CyberCognizanz provides for practical solutions. Dr. Rao gave us an example of creating a "Screen Contract " to write with our child, that let her frame and understand family boundaries that keep her safe."

Inspite of her busy work schedule & family commitments, Dr Anu has crafted out time weekly for this education initiative on Sunday mornings. She takes pride in her work & strives to produce high quality work improving on lesson plans for her classes. She is also an engaging teacher who has the knack to conduct fun & engaging lessons for her students. She will go the extra mile to ensure the students understand the lessons and that our lesson objectives are met. Her students look forward to her classes every week. She has a high level of commitment & shows up for every lesson without fail. She is a great teamplayer & gives constructive suggestions during our lesson plan discussions.

"The fake news workshop by Anuradha was truly insightful. It made me realise that even as a seasoned professional in the information technology industry, I too was at risk of believing fake news.

"I had the opportunity to attend Dr. Anuradha Rao’s workshop on cyberbullying at the Sociovation Forum 2022 organised by SUSS. Dr. Rao is a knowledgeable and well-articulated expert in the field. During the workshop, Dr. Rao shed some light on the issue, encompassing (i) the impact to individuals and organisations; (ii) red flags of cyberbullying; (iii) ways to deal with the bullies; and most fundamentally, (iv) the stakeholders involved in dealing with this complex issue. This workshop has definitely equipped the young participants (who make up the majority of soc med users) the skills to utilise the ubiquitous social media as a tool to tackle cyberbullying."

"I’ve attended a session delivered by Doc Anu entitled “Closed Tabs, Open Conversations”, which focused on Cybersafety, Cyber-parenting and how to work with your child(ren) to develop safe online practices. The session was well-delivered and Doc Anu not only provided her expertise on the topic but also an opportunity for other parents to share what has worked for them, which allowed for a rich discussion and best practice sharing. These workshops are very much needed in this day and age. Social media and online platforms took control of people's lives, especially when the pandemic hit. Helping our children connect what they learn to what can actually happen, is essential to help protect them. Thanks Doc Anu, for this wonderful workshop. I hope that more parents get the opportunity to attend your sessions!"

"I had an opportunity to connect with Dr. Rao at a workshop organised by National University of Singapore for the Teach Singapore Initiative. As a part of this workshop we were trained on ways to build rapport with the Public School students that my fellow volunteers and I interact with on a weekly basis. The best practices shared by Dr. Rao have definitely come in handy and have helped me build trust with the students. Would highly recommend her workshops to individuals who intend to engage in similar activities."
