 Building a Cyber Champion in Non-profits I am privileged to chat with Jeremy Mullally on his Man In The Middle Podcast, previewing our Australian Information Security Association (AISA) Cybercon Melbourne next Wednesday on our presentation "Building a Cyber Champion in Non-profits", presenting with Rodney A. and Adrian Bole. Please come to our session on Wed 27th 1:30pm-2:10pm. We explored the cultural and operational challenges in raising awareness of the impact of cyber security and connecting the impact of individuals' decisions on the collective cyber risk posture of the organisation. Cyber security is everyone's responsibility. It is a business problem and a cultural challenge. It is more than a technology problem. We used the example of MFA adoption and the seat belt analogy to highlight how people rationalise their decision to bypass this critical protection mechanism. Humiliating people for failing their phishing simulation tests or bypassing MFA enforcement is unlikely to change user behaviour. Neither is fining people for failing to use seat belts. We need a new conversation. Please check out our presentation. You will find useful sound bites to use in your security awareness campaign. https://lnkd.in/g6Ny8Pa2

Detiem Tawo, Program Lead at CyberSafe Foundation, led a powerful session on Cybersecurity Essentials for Non-Profits & Social Entrepreneurs at the Online Safety Forum 2024. Cybersecurity plays a critical role in safeguarding the online presence and operations of civil society and social impact organizations. These groups often handle sensitive data and engage in advocacy that can make them targets. In Africa, the most pressing cyber safety challenges for civil societies include limited cybersecurity resources, inadequate staff training, and targeted attacks from malicious actors aiming to disrupt their work. Participants learnt actionable strategies to enhance their cyber resilience with real-world scenarios and solutions tailored to the unique needs of nonprofits and social enterprises.
