Stay Safe Online! Cyber Security training for smaller charities and community groups.
2020-10-14 10:00 - 13:00 | Virtual event
Anyone can be impacted by cyber crime, even charities. To the criminals you’re just another target that hasn’t protected themselves properly. Doing the basics right will go a long way in keeping your charity secure, which is what this awareness session from NAVCA and the NCSC aims to provide.
Further Information:
What is cyber crime?
Cyber crime is an ‘umbrella’ term for lots of crimes which either take place online or where technology is a means and/or target for attack.
It is one of the fastest growing criminal activities across the world, and can affect both individuals and community groups and charities.
Sometimes it’s easy to assume that charities and community groups are either too small or too ‘nice’ to be targeted, but have you thought about the impact of a fraudulent invoice getting through the system, how difficult it is to be truly data secure, and how damaging it is to find your email system or website unexpectedly offline? The smallest organisations are often the most vulnerable in all sorts of ways. And the average cost to a charity of a cyber security breach has been calculated to be around £1,030.
If you are running a small group, organisation or charity you are likely to be holding data. Come and find out how some simple effective measures can protect you and your community group or charity.
Who the course is aimed at:
Throughout the session, your trainer will help you understand the content through real life examples, videos and most importantly by removing the jargon that can make cyber security seem difficult to understand. The training will also be attended by the Cyber Prevent & Protect Officers for the Wiltshire Police.
What the course will cover:
Through this session you can expect to learn –

What is cyber security
Threats that charities face
Backing up your data
Protecting your charity from malware
