Cybersecurity continues to be in the news as daily more and more public entities are being exploited with malware and ransomware attacks, rendering their data unreadable. This is resulting in large ransoms being paid by organizations that were not properly prepared for these types of intrusions. With some of these payments being well over half a million dollars, non-profits unfortunately do not have the funds to decrypt their data, leaving them in a damaged state unable to resume day to day work functions. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In this seminar, we will talk about steps that non-profits can take to be prepared in case the unthinkable happens to them. Join us as we relay this exceedingly important information to you to take back to your organizations and make them safer.
