Celebrate National Cyber Security Awareness Month with Cool Waters Cyber
“All charities ultimately rely on public trust and continued public generosity. The impact of any cyber-attack on a charity can be devastating, undermining public confidence and support.”
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and at Cool Waters Cyber, we are dedicated to empowering charities to bolster their cyber defences. As the digital landscape evolves, the risks from cybercrime continue to grow, making it essential for all organisations, especially charities, to stay vigilant and secure.
Why Cyber Security Matters for Charities
Helen Stephenson, recent Chief Executive of the Charity Commission for England and Wales, emphasizes, “All charities ultimately rely on public trust and continued public generosity. The impact of any cyber-attack on a charity can be devastating, undermining public confidence and support.” Cyber Essentials, a UK government-backed scheme, is a foundational standard in cyber security, offering crucial protection against common cyber threats.
Exclusive October Offer for Charities
In recognition of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Cool Waters Cyber is pleased to offer a 10% discount on our managed Cyber Essentials and Cyber Assurance services for any charity that signs up in October 2024. This is an excellent opportunity for charities to fortify their cyber defences while benefiting from expert guidance and support – and a greater discount that the one offered by IASME for charities this month.
Benefits of Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials helps guard against the most common cyber threats and demonstrates a charity’s commitment to cyber security. According to the UK National Cyber Security Centre:
· 93% of certified organisations are confident that they are protected against common, Internet-based cyber-attacks.
· Certified organisations are 80% less likely to need to claim on their cyber insurance.
Achieving Cyber Essentials not only enhances your charity's security but also opens up new avenues for funding, as grant-making bodies increasingly require Cyber Essentials certification from applicants.
Obtaining a recognised cyber security certification is a cost effective way to demonstrate to your stakeholders that the charity has taken all reasonable steps to protect their data and operational systems from cyber-attack.
