Join Just-Tech for MIE’s Cyber Risk Management Virtual Training Series

Written by Steve Pomroy | Jun 14, 2021 4:21:00 PM

Due to the pandemic and shift to remote working environments, there has been a significant growth in cybersecurity risks and potential threats. Technology and best practices have been developed in order to reduce the risk of successful breaches as well as their impact on your organization. After a series of security incidents at non-profit organizations, we feel that it is essential to raise awareness and provide professional recommendations.  

The key to protecting your organization is to stay informed and educated on the various aspects of cyber risk management and actionable steps that you can take. Cybersecurity breaches can disrupt client services and become a financial burden. Do you have a risk management strategy? 

Just-Tech is partnering with Management Information Exchange (MIE)* to present 3 one-hour virtual training seminars on Cyber Risk Management. We will be covering a series of topics that include: legal aid cybersecurity, liability insurance, security-related management practices, on-site and cloud technologies, ethical implications and risk responsibilities. 

These sessions are designed for Executive Leadership including your Executive and Deputy Directors, Board Chair, and accidental tech managers. 

Below are the available seminars and registration details:
