SUMMARY:Webinar: Not-For-(Their)-Profit: Prepare Your Organization for The Inevitable Cyber Attack
DESCRIPTION:Description: October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Join us for an insightful session on cybersecurity for non-profit organizations\, hosted by Mercadien’s Nonprofit & Human Services Group and presented by Armour Cyber. Gain insights into post-COVID cyber-related risks and learn how to keep your assets\, data\, and people protected. \nCyberattacks are becoming more aggressive\, sophisticated\, and efficient. These new attack economics mean that now\, more than ever\, organizations do not have to be cash-rich to be considered a lucrative target by cybercriminals. As such\, many in the non-profit sector are now specifically targeted. \nApart from shifting attack economies\, COVID was another accelerant of cyber risk as many in the sector were forced to quickly introduce digital innovation for their clients and internally for their employees. While we embrace digital innovation\, when development work is done in haste\, it tends to leave many gaps in privacy and security. \nAttendees of this complimentary webinar will learn: \n\nThe latest cyber threats jeopardizing your security\, privacy\, and identity.\nThe anatomy and types of cyberattacks.\nWhy common solutions installed today provide a false sense of security.\nPractical tips and tools to elevate your business’s digital security.\n\nSchedule:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM – Presentation\n2:00 – 2:30 PM – Q&A \nPresenter: David Chernitzky\, Co-Founder\, Armour Cybersecurity \nRefund/Cancellation Policy: Since this program will be presented free of charge\, there will be no refunds issued. For more information regarding complaint and/or program cancellation policies\, please contact our office at 609-689-9700 or email events@mercadien.com. \n1.5 CPE credits in Specialized Knowledge is offered.
