Navigating Cybersecurity, Cyber Insurance and Risk Management in the Nonprofit World

No matter the business or the industry, cybersecurity and risk management/mitigation have become the biggest concern for organizations and their adoption of new and emerging technologies. It’s one thing to have the right infrastructure and technology in place, but it’s another to ensure that your people, processes, and systems are secure and protected.

In this session, we’ll hear from some of the top nonprofits and cyber insurers in the area to get their recommendations for how businesses, and their people, should prioritize cybersecurity, mitigate the operational effects of a cyber threat, and protect constituent data.
