SUMMARY:Cyber Deception for Associations: Stop Breaches Before They Start
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nDeception is a proactive defense strategy that uses canaries\, honeypots\, honeytokens\, and decoy credentials or endpoints to surface high fidelity alerts and reduce dwell time. This session explains what deception is\, where it fits in a modern security program\, and how associations can put it to work in real world environments. \nWho should attend: Association executives\, IT and operations leaders\, administrators\, and anyone responsible for safeguarding member and organizational data. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nExplain key deception tactics (e.g.\, canaries\, honeypots\, honeytokens) and identify scenarios where they add value in an association’s security program. \nDesign a minimal\, high-impact deception plan that aligns with existing security tools and workflows. \nDemonstrate implementation steps and analyze examples tailored to common association technology stacks. \nEvaluate measurable benefits of deception\, including earlier detection\, reduced dwell time\, and clearer incident signals. \nAssess governance considerations\, identify common pitfalls\, and recommend strategies to strengthen a proactive security posture. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Technology Ecosystems: Navigating Tools in Your Association
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nLike the dating industry\, an association technology ecosystem offers a wide range of options and diverse personalities. One major challenge faced by both is inadequate communication. Establishing compatibility is crucial. This webinar will delve into the steps necessary to achieve harmony among various association technology systems and provide value to members that will foster long-lasting love. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nBeing Purposeful with your Data – What to capture? When and how to ask? How many people are you losing because you’re asking for too much? What is required and not?\nCompatibility Requires a Shared Language – Are you speaking the same language and using the same terminology across systems and the keys to a unified taxonomy?\nUse Data to Drive Desired Activities – Starting with the end in mind. What do you need to do to personalize the member experience across channels?

SUMMARY:Application Connection Tools: How to Use iPass Effectively
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nA new approach to connecting applications such as AMS platforms and fundraising tools\, an integration platform as a service—or iPaaS—could cut down on the need for customization while simplifying integration. Here’s why it’s trending among association IT pros.  \nIf your association has been leaning on custom integrations that feel costly and difficult to manage\, know that with a little digital glue\, you might be able to connect all your disparate apps—social networks\, email providers\, and online communities—together. \nThe concept is called iPaaS\, or integration platform as a service\, and it’s a growing trend that is finding new interest among associations. It simplifies integration among different types of tools by streamlining the connection of application programming interfaces (APIs)—essentially\, interfaces that allow different tools and their data to connect with one another—utilizing a low-code or no-code interface. \niPaaS could help solve a problem for associations: It could make a best-in-breed approach feel as tightly integrated as an all-in-one solution. And that could change associations’ relationship with their technology stacks significantly. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn best-in-breed approach for an all-in-one solution\nLearn a new approach to connecting applications such as AMS platforms and fundraising tools\nLearn how you can cut down on the need for customization while simplifying integration\nLearn to better understand potential opportunities to standardize how iPaaS tools are used by associations\n\n
