Virtual Cyber Symposium for Nonprofits & Associations

Tax exempt organizations are not exempt from cyberattacks.

3 CPE credits are available for this event.

Virtual Cyber Symposium for Nonprofits & Associations: Tax exempt organizations are not exempt from the growing threats of cyberattacks. Nonprofit organizations and associations hold valuable data and place a high value on their reputations, making them a frequent target for hackers. Join our experts for compelling insight into today’s threats to nonprofits, how to prioritize the risks, and practical solutions for reducing exposure.

Nonprofit organizations are trusted by millions worldwide. They play an important role in addressing societal issues, providing aid, and fostering positive change. However, their value also makes them attractive targets for malicious actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in their digital infrastructure.
