About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us for a free online event exclusively for nonprofit leaders hosted by Ragland Institute.

Great online security begins with understanding what you need to protect. Yet, a basic list of your digital assets— online accounts, databases, and laptops—won't reveal which security steps to prioritize or how to implement the right security controls.

In this informal talk, we'll explore how to build a digital asset inventory as a first step in establishing a security program for your organization and how creating the inventory can be an eye opening cybersecurity awareness exercise for your entire team. Next, we'll cover how to go from inventory to establishing security priorities and then how to put basic security controls in place to protect your most valuable assets.

By attending this presentation, you will:

  • Gain a foundational understanding of how to create an inventory of what digital assets you need to protect in your organization.
  • Learn how to prioritize security actions and manage the cybersecurity tasks required to reduce the risk of a costly cybersecurity incident.
