Cyber Security Essentials
In partnership with Lloyds Banking Group’s Chief Security Office, we’ve developed a series of resources to help protect you and your organisation from the growing threat of cybercrime.
Overview of the guide
Cybercrime is a powerful and growing threat to charities. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2020 found:
of charities reported cyberattacks in 2019, according to the government’s latest annual survey
of charities have looked for external help with cybersecurity in the last year, up from 36% in 2018
is the average cost of all breaches or attacks identified in the last 12 months by a charity
For charities who fall victim to a cyberattack, the effects can be devastating with money, data and reputation all at risk.
Working with the Chief Security Office at Lloyds Banking Group, we’ve prepared a short, four-part series on the essentials of cybersecurity. We’ve also included a downloadable guide that expands on the films with resources to continue your cybersecurity journey.
If acted upon, these simple measures will go a long way to helping protect you, your organisation and the people you serve.
Make sure to download our accompanying cyber security guide as well.
