Summary: Last year, losses attributed to cyber risk increased by 400% and show no signs of slowing down! Cyber risk comes in many different forms, and while understanding how to protect your organization and your community can be overwhelming, it is vital that nonprofit organizations recognize the risk and are sufficiently prepared to protect against these risks and events. This webinar covers the cyber landscape, increasing cyber risk, preventative actions, and insurance options to help protect your organizations. There are a lot of things an organization can do to protect themselves from cyber security incidents, and while insurance is typically a last resort when it comes to dealing with cyber risks, it is necessary to help mitigate the risks.
