Hello!
Here’s your weekly brief of Executive with a Cause, a list of the people, ideas and technology I’m exploring for Not for Profit leaders.
In this Edition: Why is ransomware attacks increasing, how the Girls Scouts are bringing more females into cybersecurity, AI use… and MORE!
Lessons I’m sharing about working with Not for Profit boards:
- 1 minute of advice from previous podcast guests Frances Crimmins, CEO at YWCA Canberra and Hannah Andrevski, CEO at Roundabout Canberra.
Opportunities I’m sharing:
- The Australian Institute of Company Directors has opened its annual Not for Profit Scholarship Program – which closes on 23 April.
What I’m reading:
- The Australian government is considering legislation to make the tech sector more liable for insecure products.
- How the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency is collaborating with the Girl Scouts to bring more females into cybersecurity. Over 300k cybersecurity badges have been issued so far!
- How some employees are using ChatGPT in their workplace and the employers that are banning this artificial intelligence tool.
Vendor updates I’m sharing:
