Cyber Awareness for VCSE organisations
Charities cover a huge range of organisations and often do not have the budget of large organisations to spend on cyber security.
Cyber security might seem like a daunting challenge for your organisation, but it doesn’t have to be. Every organisation can start improving their online security by taking six actions, tailored for the SME & charity community, that are both practical and affordable to implement.
Monday 11 October – 11am to 12pm
Security for Boards, Board Toolkit
An introduction to NCSC’s Board Toolkit. Cyber Security can be an intimidating topic to approach as a board member, or as someone who needs to talk to the board about it. The Board Toolkit provides resources to help manage these interactions.
Monday 18 October – 10am to 11am
Ransomware the Other Side of Response
Ransomware is one of the most pressing cyber security threats for organisations of all sizes. It involves a type of malicious software that makes your computer or the data stored on it unusable until the victim makes a payment.
Join the NCSC for an overview of ransomware and how you can mitigate the risks.
Monday 25 October – 10am to 11am
