Designed to address the growing risk of cybersecurity breaches in philanthropy, the Technology Affinity Group (TAG) announces the launch of CyberSecurity Essentials for Philanthropy, a curriculum featuring webinars, whitepapers, and workshops in partnership with IT leaders throughout the social sector. Cybersecurity Essentials for Philanthropy aims to reduce risk and establish best practices throughout the sector in this yearlong educational series
“This series is vital,” says TAG Board President and Dana Foundation CIO Jim Rutt. “Our membership has been calling for a holistic cybersecurity program that provides a 360-degree view of security preparedness in philanthropy and also fills in knowledge gaps on particular tools and techniques. I’m grateful for leaders such as Oleg Bell from Open Society Foundations and John Mohr from the MacArthur Foundation who have stepped up to share their expertise in this series.”
