About this event
Protect your IT networks, devices, and data – learn how to prevent online attacks so that you won't lose important data.
If you are running a small group, organisation or charity you are likely to be holding data. This training course will help you learn some simple effective measures to secure your devices, manage your passwords, spot suspicious emails, protect your personal data to protect you and your community group or charity.
Sometimes it’s easy to assume that charities and community groups are too small to be targeted by online crime or scammers. However, the smallest organisations are often the most vulnerable in all sorts of ways. The latest data from DCMS shows the average cost to a charity of a cyber security breach has been calculated to be around £1,560. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2020
