Cultural organisations are increasingly reliant on digital technology. It’s great to be able to quickly and easily promote exhibitions, sell tickets, ask for donations, share stories, and collect data online.

But all of that comes with risks. Not least the risks around digital security. 

At this Supercool Sessions webinar, Managing Director James Coleman will cover:

  • Why cultural organisations are an attractive target
    • Ticketing data, donor records, payment flows, and public-facing brands all in one place.
  • The most common ways organisations get caught out
    • Phishing, weak or reused passwords, unpatched software, and over-shared access to systems.
  • Practical basics
    • Multi-factor authentication, password managers, software updates, and more – oh my!
  • Working with third parties
    • Digital agencies, ticketing systems, and fundraising tools – and the questions you should be asking them.

Plus a quick look at frameworks like Cyber Essentials – what they are, what they're not, and whether they're worth investigating for your organisation.

Great for:

  • Marketing Directors who want to understand the risks without getting lost in jargon
  • Marketing, Digital, and Development teams that handle online customer and donor data day-to-day
  • Anyone whose role has evolved to include being the "de facto IT person”!

You'll get:

  • A clear, plain-English understanding of the main digital security risks facing cultural organisations
  • A short list of practical steps you can take in the next week, month, and quarter
  • Confidence to ask better questions of your suppliers, agencies, and internally
