In September, WebTitan launched a competition offering charities the chance to win a free WebTitan Cloud Security Solution to keep their networks protected when workers access the Internet and email.
The solution is highly effective at preventing users from inadvertently accessing web contact that could cause networks or computers to be infected with malware, while protecting users from objectionable content. It also allows an organization to see what websites individual workers are attempting to access. For charitable organizations the WebTitan Cloud Security Solution offers exceptional protection, and can prevent data breaches and costly cyberattacks.
The competition attracted a great many entries. All that was required to enter was for the participant to be a charity, and provide a brief answer to a very simple question: Why the organization would benefit from winning a free WebTitan Cloud Security Solution
The WebTitan Cloud Competition Winner Is… Touch Life of Uganda
The first prize in the competition was well worth winning: A WebTitan Cloud web security license valued at $8,000!
The prize could not have gone to a worthier winner. Touch Life is a Non-Government Organization (NGO) operating in Uganda. The charitable organization performs important and incredibly valuable work, assisting families that have been torn apart by war, famine, disease, and have been forced to live a life of extreme poverty. The charity empowers those families to take control of their lives and gives them hope.
In an ideal world, the websites of charities would be exempt from cyberattacks. Yet sadly their websites are no different to global corporations earning profits in the billions. Cybercriminals often conduct random campaigns, and the reality is charities are often targeted simply for having poor security controls. If there is money to be made from attacking a website, those websites will be attacked. In fact, cybercriminals often take advantage of natural disasters, famine, and war to obtain donations intended to help victims.
However, the Internet is vital for charities to spread news about the excellent work they perform and attract donations. Without those donations they could not continue with their missions. It is therefore essential that the websites have cybersecurity protections in place to protect from attack and ensure that donations make it to the victims, rather than be diverted to cover data breach costs. WebTitan Cloud security offers that protection.
Second Prize awarded to… New Zealand’s Framework Mental Health and Intellectual Disability Service
The second prize in our Cloud Security Competition was a brand new iPad. The winner of the prize is Framework of New Zealand, a provider of mental health and intellectual disability services in the Greater Auckland region. The organization conducts important work and helps to improve the lives of the mentally and physically disabled, teaching them a range of vocational skills, offering training, education and support. The charitable organization was first established in 1984 and has helped thousands of individuals lead more fulfilling lives.
Additional prizes have been awarded to a number of competition participants. A $50 Amazon voucher has now been sent to NGOs around the world, including Australia’s YMCA.
