Training Opportunities

Risk assessment isn’t a topic we want to think about. But as nonprofits, we can’t put our collective “head in the sand.” Security risks to our clients, our donors, and other stakeholders is a real and growing threat no matter the size of the organization. Security breaches harm an organization’s reputation and make clients vulnerable. Every responsible nonprofit leader should know their vulnerabilities and have a security plan in place.You don’t need to be an expert in technology to learn how to protect your organization. Let us walk you through the basic steps!

Join Jordan McCarthy, Tech Impact Infrastructure & Security Lead for a seminar to lead you through the “Who, What, Where and Why” of combating security threats. Learn who the bad actors are, why they want your data and how you can arm your organization with that knowledge. We’ll also discuss common attacks and types of solutions available to nonprofits to combat them (nonvendor specific). Please come with your questions and concerns!

Most importantly: You will leave the session with a plan specific to your needs. Jordan will help you create an assessment of your organization’s specific threats and prioritized next steps for securing your organization.

This topic is relevant to every single nonprofit and is too important to ignore!
