On-demand webinar: Guarding against ransomware – protecting charities in the digital age

Ransomware attacks are one of 2024’s most pressing cyber threats, with signs showing it could worsen in the future. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that can block access to files and computer systems, rendering them unusable until a ransom is paid. For charities, who are home to a wealth of data, this could mean disrupting vital services, losing critical funds, damaging reputational risk, and more.

Charities of any size can be the target of a cyber attack, making it extremely important that their data and funds are well-protected, giving all charity stakeholders confidence that their information is safe.  

In this webinar, cyber security experts Avast will cover the potential risks of ransomware attacks in the charity sector, exploring the mechanics of a ransomware attack, with reference to real-world case studies and the lessons learned.  

Attendees can expect to learn: 

• The definition and types of ransomware

• Examples of ransomware attacks on charities and their consequences

• The best strategies for prevention
