Cybersecurity is one of the most urgent priorities facing education‑focused nonprofits and education institutions today.
Whether you’re a nonprofit delivering tutoring, literacy, STEM, or adult learning programs — or a school, district, or learning organization — you’re managing growing threat complexity with lean IT teams, rising ransomware risk, and sensitive learner and staff data to protect. Leaders across the education ecosystem need practical strategies that strengthen security without slowing down their mission.
The Microsoft Elevate Education team is bringing you two powerful Signature Series webinars this spring to help education‑focused nonprofits and education institutions strengthen their cybersecurity posture from the inside out. Pick the topic and time that fits your day — or register for both.
Webinar 1 | May 19, 2026
Preventing the Next Organization‑Wide Incident: Identity, Access, and Ransomware for Education‑Focused Nonprofits & Education Institutions

Choose your session:
- 8:00 – 9:00 AM PT: https://msevents.microsoft.com/event?id=237608052
- 4:00 – 5:00 PM PT: https://msevents.microsoft.com/event?id=2738526889
Across both sessions, you'll learn how to:
- Reduce risk from over‑permissioned admin accounts and always‑on access
- Limit your organization’s blast radius through modern identity segmentation and access controls
- Automate threat investigation and response to contain incidents faster — even with a lean team
- Manage and approve remediation actions through a unified Action center
- Strengthen ransomware readiness using tools many organizations already own
How This Benefits Education‑Focused Nonprofits
Education‑focused nonprofits and education institutions face many of the same cybersecurity pressures — rising ransomware activity, increasingly sophisticated identity attacks, and the responsibility to protect sensitive learner, staff, and organizational data — often with limited resources and little room for disruption.
These sessions tell the full cybersecurity story for organizations that teach, support, and deliver education: securing who has access and automating how you respond when threats occur. Together, they help nonprofits and education institutions move toward containment‑ready, resilient security operations that protect staff, volunteers, and the learners they serve.
We hope to see you there.
