Cybersecurity for Under-resourced Organizations
Presented by: National Cyber Security Alliance
Location: UW-Madison Gordon Commons Event Center (770 W. Dayton, Madison, WI 53715)
Time: 8:30am-12pm
Featured Speaker: David Caggical, Wisconsin CIO
Small & medium-sized organizations all have valuable data, which makes them prime targets for cyber criminals . However, these organizations (small businesses, non-profits, local governments, schools, etc.) are often under-resourced when it comes to protecting their sensitive assets. The National Cyber Security Alliance has developed a free hands-on half-day workshop to help organizations:
- Identify which business assets others want
- Protect those assets
- Detect when something has gone wrong
- Respond quickly and appropriately with an action plan
- Recover after a breach

This workshop is not designed for cybersecurity experts. This workshop is designed for individuals with little to no cybersecurity expertise, but everyone is welcome to attend.
This half-day workshop on September 24th is in collaboration with the 7th Annual Wisconsin Governor’s Cybersecurity Summit, and is a kick-off to National Cybersecurity Awareness Month–observed throughout the month of October.
