Panel Discussion with Matthew Eshleman, Ian Gottesman, and guests.
Wednesday, October 15, from 3-4pm Eastern, Noon Pacific
Nonprofit cybersecurity experts discuss the current state of risks, and the best counter-measures nonprofits should have in their toolboxes.
Learn what are cybersecurity essentials for nonprofits, and how your nonprofit organization can meet the moment.
Keep your staff, your networks, and your data secure in an insecure world.
Worried about nonprofit cybersecurity?
You aren’t alone. The nonprofit sector is seeing new attacks and politicization of work that was never political before. Most attacks we are seeing in our networks are still financial, not political – but that doesn’t make being a victim of these attacks better. AI is changing cybersecurity needs rapidly.
If you aren’t sure what you need to know, or who to ask, learn from our expert panel in this webinar where we will discuss cybersecurity essentials for nonprofits in accessible language, and lay out a plan for any nonprofit to put the basics of cybersecurity in place.
Secure your devices.
Secure your accounts.
Secure your data.
Ensure you have governance policies in place for acceptable use and that you have an incident response plan. Test the plan for weak points.
In this new webinar, expert panelists discuss cybersecurity essentials and take Q&A.
As with all our webinars, this presentation is appropriate for an audience of varied IT experience.
Community IT is proudly vendor-agnostic, and our webinars cover a range of topics and discussions. Webinars are never a sales pitch, always a way to share our knowledge with our community.
