Virtual Info Session: Fall 2025 Nonprofit Cybersecurity Bootcamp
July 16 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

We’re excited to announce a new cohort-style cybersecurity program in partnership with Novus Insight, Inc., designed to help nonprofits build internal cybersecurity capacity with expert guidance and peer support. According to a recent report by CyberPeace Foundation, 68% of nonprofits have faced a data breach in the past three years. This cohort program will equip nonprofits with the skills and plans needed to protect their mission, stakeholders, and data against growing cyber threats.
While this program carries a higher cost than our typical offerings, the long-term savings and built-in support make it a smart and impactful investment. With tiered pricing to improve equity and accessibility, participating organizations will save 50–75% off market rates, plus additional savings offered on Cyber Security Insurance for graduates.
