With the proliferation of cyber-attacks, employers are more vulnerable than ever to malware, phishing scams, and ransomware. Grant-funded nonprofits are attractive targets, since they maintain a trove of personal information about clients, employees, volunteers, and donors. Forrest Kasler, CPA, is a financial auditor with CliftonLarsenAllen LLP who has IT expertise and practical knowledge of how hackers attack organizations and access sensitive data. Participants attended this session to ask him questions about the latest techniques being used by cyber criminals, what organizations can do to reduce the risk of a cyber-attack, and the consequences of a data breach.
