This is a hands-on workshop specifically for nonprofits that will help you understand the importance of data security and how to implement simple, yet effective measures to secure your people and your data. Even nonprofits need to worry about data security. It is your responsibility to protect sensitive information about your donors, volunteers, and clients while also safeguarding yourself from cyberattacks. You will leave with a clear understanding of basic data security tactics at the PC level. Please bring the computer you want to protect to the training.
