What is Cyber Security
1. Why we care about you, ransomware and cyber security?
Cybersecurity also known as information security is the practice of protecting computers, servers, networks and data from malicious or digital attacks.
We need this more than ever because of the massive digital transformation that has taken place, especially since Covid-19 shut the world down. The internet has allowed us to work, learn and transact remotely.

Why should we care?
As community centred entities, a lot of trust is placed on you to ensure that the social services you are rendering are safe and secure. Understandably so, not much investment is put into cyber security in such sectors normally due to stringent budgets. Churches, non profits and communities rely significantly on donations and grants and if not enough care is putting into ensuring such mediums are safe, poses a huge threat. There was a time that no one would be able to comprehend why a cyber criminal would go after a church or community program, but now we know that your data is a multibillion dollar industry.
Once hackers have access to one device, they can effortlessly gain access to your whole network (Wi-Fi). Now cyber criminals are able to gather information (live video, audio, and even payment details).
Tech was made for good, but is not always used that way. We are reshaping people's relationships with technology, and making them more cyber resilient.
Cyber Tips
Before getting technical help, it is important to be equipped on some basic ways to keep your community or organization safe. Even on an individual level, measures can be taken to protect your data, donors and your personal life online. Technology is not going anywhere.
