Workshop: Navigating Cybersecurity Challenges as a Public Good Organization
Event Information
Description
"How do vulnerable organizations working in social justice causes prepare for DDOS or ransomware attacks with limited or no in-house technical employees?"
"Our organization has a simple WordPress site and a link to collect donations, what do we need to worry about?"
Join us for an evening discussion of the unique cybersecurity challenges facing nonprofit, B-Corps, city, and municipal organizations hosted at AirBnB. Cyber Defenders and our partners will highlight the most common threats and various tools, strategies, and expertise available. Food will be provided by our host, the AirBnB Information Security CSIRT team.
