In this webinar, Community IT Innovators’ CTO and resident security expert Matt Eshleman covers the basics a security plan should include for nonprofit cybersecurity readiness, giving updates and a synthesis of our recent security webinars.

He touches on:

  • Understanding and measuring cybersecurity risks to your mission and reputation
  • Talking about ROI for cybersecurity measures, and how to consider costs and potential costs in your budget process, based on industry benchmarks
  • Considering cyber insurance and which nonprofits particularly need such insurance; in safeguarding databases for healthcare and children/volunteers, guarding against billing and budgeting scams, and nonprofits who may be targeted for their advocacy work
  • Updated security incidence response best practices
  • Creating a multi-layered security plan that actively includes your staff and executives

As with all our webinars, this presentation is appropriate for an audience of varied IT and security experience.
