Madison, WI Workshop: Cybersecurity Basics for Under-Resourced Organizations

National Cyber Security Alliance

Small &amp; medium-sized organizations all have valuable data, which makes them prime targets for cyber criminals . However, these organizations (small businesses, non-profits, local governments, schools, etc.) are often under-resourced when it comes to protecting their sensitive assets. The National Cyber Security Alliance has developed a free hands-on half-day workshop to help organizations:
• Identify which business assets others want • Protect those assets • Detect when something has gone wrong • Respond quickly and appropriately with an action plan • Recover after a breach
LOCATION: Sonata Meeting Room on the second floor of Gordon Dining and Event Center
