Cybersecurity in a Nutshell: A High-Level Guide for Executives

May 7 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Course Description:

When you’re running an association, you don’t have time to get into the weeds of how every cyberattack works or why one detection tool is better than another.

All you need to know is what you’re susceptible to and how to know you’re as protected as you should be. Our session will cover:

* Your biggest threat: AI-powered financial fraud

* Outdated defenses: multi-factor authentication

* Signs you’re protected: pessimistic permissions

* Action items to delegate: 5-point framework

We’ll keep it high-level, plain-English, and practical.

Learning Objectives:

Identify AI-powered financial fraud as the primary cybersecurity threat facing associations.

Evaluate current security measures, including the limitations of multi-factor authentication.

Apply pessimistic permissions principles to assess organizational protection levels.

Implement a 5-point cybersecurity framework through appropriate delegation to staff.
