Operational Security for Small Nonprofits

Growing uncertainty has many nonprofits now asking themselves about digital privacy and security. Should we be taking extra precautions online? This question can feel overwhelming, especially to small organizations without a dedicated IT department.

This webinar is intended as an introduction to “operational security.” It will cover the first steps individuals and small non-profits can take to enhance the privacy and security of their daily digital presence. We’ll cover ways to improve the physical security of devices, options for encrypted communication, and tools to enhance privacy. It will also introduce the concepts of “threat modeling” and “risk management,” or how to best prioritize what steps to take first.
