Project Ignite Forum: Data Security

When you go home at night, do you have a plan for protecting your agency's data? What are its vulnerabilities? Who has access to it? Is it backed up in case of theft or natural disaster?
How familiar are you with different computing environments such as cloud computing, hosted servers and local servers? Join us for a discussion that will clearly define these environments, explore best practices for data security as well as lay out the benefits and challenges of various security options. Designed for information technology novices, this “Data Security 101”-style discussion will provide a roadmap to understand the landscape and give you tools to do your own data security audit, so you can make informed decisions about your own data storage.
For experienced IT users, we will reconvene an advanced-level data security webinar in early February to enhance your understanding of the latest data security tools, troubleshooting and techniques.
Project Ignite Forum Background
Project Ignite Forums are educational seminars led by IT experts focusing on IT trends and issues for nonprofits. The forums provide nonprofit agency leadership with insights into emerging technologies we well as current best practices.
The Forums operate on several levels. These sessions are ideal for smaller organizations eager to learn how to leverage limited resources for greater impact through IT applications. The format is designed for nonprofits of all sizes to share ideas and experiences so that everyone benefits from the community’s wealth of knowledge.
We encourage agencies that have an active interest in technology issues to adopt an agency with less experience in this area and make sure they attend future forums.
