Finite Groups - order of the element divides order of the Group

Going through Christof Paar's book on cryptography. In his chapter on DHKE, he has the following

The theorem itself talks only about Finite Groups ("Let G be a finite group")

But when he talks about the second property - he says - "The second property is very useful in practice. It says that in a cyclic group only element orders which divide the group cardinality exist."

How is saying that it's only for cyclic groups? Shouldn't it be "It says that in a finite group only element orders which divide the group cardinality exist."
