Charity Digital Training Announcement 

Strengthen Your Charity’s Cyber Security with Delta Cyber Security's Training Workshop 

As cyber threats continue to evolve, no organisation, big or small, is immune to potential attacks. This is especially true for charities, which are increasingly becoming targets for cyber criminals. In fact, the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2024 found that 32% of charities experienced a cyber attack in the last 12 months. Without the right protections in place, charities risk facing data breaches, financial losses, and damage to their reputation. 

So, how can you protect your charity from the growing threat of cyber crime? 

Delta Cyber Security is partnering with Charity Digital to offer an interactive Cyber Essentials training programme designed specifically for charities. This practical workshop will help you understand how to implement basic cyber safeguards and defend your organisation against cyber attacks. 

Why is Cyber Essentials Important for Charities? 

The Cyber Essentials scheme, backed by the UK government, provides a simple but effective framework for safeguarding against the most common cyber threats. It’s designed to help businesses and charities put in place basic controls to protect their data, networks and systems. 

With more charities going digital and handling sensitive data, Cyber Essentials certification is an essential step in demonstrating your commitment to cyber resilience. Plus, it’s not just about compliance, it’s about reducing your risk of a breach and ensuring your organisation’s ongoing security. 

What Will You Learn in This Hands-On Workshop? 

This three-hour training session is split into two interactive sessions, each designed to give you practical insights and actionable strategies to improve your charity’s cyber security. Here’s what you can expect: 

Session 1: Foundations of Cyber Security & the Cyber Essentials Framework 

• Overview of Cyber Essentials: Why it matters and how it works 

• Firewalls explained: Setting up your first line of defence 

• Secure configuration best practices for devices and systems 

• Update management: The importance of staying up to date with software and system updates 

Break (20 minutes) 

Session 2: Cyber Essentials Framework Continued & Cyber Security Hack Simulation 

• Malware protection: How to spot threats and defend against them 

• User Access Controls: Safeguarding sensitive data by managing user permissions 

• Interactive Group Activity – The Hack Simulation: In this hands-on exercise, you will simulate an attack and work with others to compromise a business email account. This session allows you to: 

• Step into the shoes of an attacker and learn how accounts get compromised 

• Understand how attackers use open-source information and tools 

• Learn the steps needed to prevent such incidents in your organisation 

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have practical knowledge and tools to apply immediately, helping you defend against common threats and strengthen your charity’s security posture.

The session will be led by Matthew Musto, Delta Cyber Security’s Chief Information Officer (CIO).
