Apparo and Cox Enterprises partnered together to offer a 8-week virtual cohort program to provide cybersecurity assessments, training, and resilience for ten nonprofits to reduce risk and focus on their mission work.
Sponsored by Cox Enterprises.
Apparo, in partnership with Cox Enterprises, wrapped up an 8-week Cybersecurity Cohort for Nonprofits. Ten nonprofits from the Atlanta, New York, and Michigan area gained the knowledge and skills needed to make informed, strategic decisions about their organization’s cybersecurity, empowering them to protect their mission and operations. The cohort began on Tuesday February 17th and wrapped up on Tuesday April 7th. Read a detailed testimonial from a cohort participant.
The cohort consisted of the following elements:
- Two Cybersecurity Educational Workshops
- Four 1:1 Tech Mentor meetings for individualized support for the nonprofits
- 1 individualized meeting with Apparo to review your cybersecurity scorecard and recommendations
- Microgrant of up to $1,000 to support implementation of a scorecard recommendation
