Cyber crime is one of the top four UK threats to national security. But what does this mean for the charity sector?
The Guardian are running a series of free events for charity leaders in association with Zurich Insurance. These evening seminars will shed light on the different areas of risk that threaten the third sector. The aim is to bring together charity leaders to share their experiences and best practice, providing opportunities to learn from and question expert speakers in addition to network with peers.
Each event will feature a panel discussion sharing first hand experiences and insight, followed by smaller facilitated round table discussion groups and refreshments and networking. You can read the write-ups from the first two events here and here.
The next event will highlight the key cyber risks for charities, feature real life examples of where situations that charities have had to deal with and offer tips and advice to prevent and address technology comprises.
This event is designed for and aimed at charity leaders and decision makers. Places are free of charge but extremely limited. Please complete this form to apply for your place.
