Online safety for leaders of volunteers, practical steps that work

Strong cybersecurity does not always require complex systems or specialist teams. In many cases, meaningful improvements come from implementing a few practical measures and using them consistently.
This session focuses on five practical measures that organisations can adopt to reduce common risks. We will cover how to set up and use a VPN to secure internet connections, introduce a password management system to improve account security, check and monitor domain name expiration to avoid service disruption or domain takeover, explore different options for multi-factor authentication, and conduct a simple web scan to identify common vulnerabilities on public-facing systems.
Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how these measures work, what good implementation looks like in practice, and how to integrate them into routine organisational processes.
