Social Cyber Threats & Building Risk Awareness for Large Foundations
October 15, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern Time
Cybersecurity isn’t just a technology issue—it’s an organizational one.
As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, the most common cause of breaches remains the same: employees being deceived. In this Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG) session, you’ll hear from two philanthropy tech leaders about timeless practices that help you assess your organization’s susceptibility to social phishing attempts and develop training and messaging that your team will understand and follow.
Join this session to explore the human side of cybersecurity and gain practical strategies to help your entire team build a culture of awareness, shared responsibility, and digital resilience.
Key Takeaways Include:
- Understand current social engineering tactics and how to recognize early warning signs of potential threats.
- Explore training methods that help team members retain cybersecurity knowledge and apply it consistently.
- Learn how to engage leaders and staff in creating an organizational culture where everyone contributes to protecting data and systems.
Guest Presenters:
- Ben Beisswenger, Chief Technology Officer, Doris Duke Foundation
