Charity IT Leaders Connect: Building Cyber-Resilience

Smartdesc is proud to be speaking at the Charity IT Leaders (CITL) Connect: Building Cyber-Resilience event.
Cybersecurity remains one of the most significant challenges facing the charity sector. Organisations of all sizes must navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape whilst balancing limited resources, protecting sensitive data, maintaining stakeholder trust and ensuring services remain available to the people and communities they support.
Join us at the fourth CITL Connect event, bringing together charity technology leaders, cybersecurity professionals and sector partners to explore how charities can build stronger cyber resilience in an ever-changing digital landscape.
The event will feature insights from the inaugural Charity Cybersecurity Survey and Report, providing a unique view of the current state of cybersecurity across the sector. Through expert presentations, real-world experiences and interactive discussions, attendees will explore emerging threats, key risks and practical strategies for strengthening security while supporting organisational goals and mission delivery.
Our team will be sharing expertise and best practices to help charities improve their cyber resilience, reduce risk and ensure they are prepared to respond to evolving security challenges.
