About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, where we interview experts about courses that make a real difference. I'm thrilled to have [Guest] here today to discuss the Professional Certificate in Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Nonprofit Volunteers. Can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've worked with several nonprofit organizations, and it became clear that many volunteers lacked the necessary cybersecurity skills to protect these vital institutions from threats. I wanted to create a course that would empower volunteers and help them become their organizations' first line of defense. HOST: That's fantastic. Now, with cybersecurity becoming increasingly important for organizations, what current trends should learners be aware of when it comes to nonprofit cybersecurity? GUEST: One significant trend is the rise of phishing attacks targeting nonprofits. These attacks often involve fraudulent emails designed to trick employees into revealing sensitive information. Our course covers best practices for identifying and preventing such threats. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what obstacles have you encountered in teaching cybersecurity to nonprofit volunteers, and how have you addressed them? GUEST: The biggest challenge is making complex cybersecurity concepts accessible to learners without a technical background. We've incorporated real-world examples and practical exercises to help learners grasp these concepts more easily. HOST: That's a great approach. As we look to the future, what do you see as the most critical cybersecurity concerns for nonprofits, and how does your course prepare learners for these challenges? GUEST: I believe the increasing use of cloud services and remote work will introduce new vulnerabilities for nonprofits. Our course equips learners with the knowledge and skills to secure their organizations' data and digital assets in this ever-evolving landscape. HOST: Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. It's clear that your course will be an invaluable resource for nonprofit volunteers looking to enhance their cybersecurity skills and protect the organizations they serve. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to see the positive impact this course will have on the nonprofit community.
