The Cyber Threat Report: UK Charity Sector was recently published by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and includes valuable advice and information to easily improve cyber security within your charitable organisation, on a quick and affordable basis.
Charities of all sizes are affected to some degree by cyber threats, and so it's important to keep on top of useful resources, training and news, such as this Small Charity Report released by the National Cyber Security Centre.
At 3SG, we're committed to supporting our members to understand the cyber threats they face, and build defences and procedures to protect them against attacks. Often, the smallest charities mistake their risk level, and don't prioritise finding the capacity to engage in cyber security training.
That's why we have partnered with the NCSC and NAVCA* to deliver short training sessions to equip your charity with the essentials. Cyber Security Training for Small Charities will run on March 7th and April 25th, and we encourage all our members to take advantage of this free offer. Sign up to one of the sessions here.
More about the report:
This report has been developed with Boards and trustees in mind, highlighting key threats charities face in 2023 and beyond. It reflects the ongoing threat to the sector as more charities run services and fundraising online and highlights how the sector is particularly attractive to attackers seeking financial gain.
It also provides case studies showing how disruptive and costly incidents can be, it also warns about the threat from cyber criminals taking advantage of public generosity during times of hardship by masquerading as charities to receive donations. It’s thought that with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, we could see an increase in cyber-crimes.
