Access Denied wins national award

Our Access Denied cyber awareness campaign has won the Best Compliance Learning Programme award at the New Zealand Association for Learning and Development (NZATD) Awards. 

The award recognises excellence and innovation in compliance learning and acknowledges programmes that find engaging ways to deliver important learning.

Our secret-agent-themed Access Denied campaign launched during Cyber Smart Week 2025 and continued throughout this year for ANZCO device users, covering cybersecurity topics such as identifying phishing emails, creating strong passwords, and protecting personal information.

ANZCO people featured in videos showcasing different cybersecurity scenarios, with Chief Financial Officer Joe Bebbington appearing as the ‘Herd Commander’.

Many thanks to Sacha at Follow My Lead who worked alongside ANZCO’s cybersecurity and communications teams to develop and deliver this award-winning campaign.
