Cyber Threats, Data Privacy and Security
New laws are taking effect across the globe to regulate the collection, use, retention, disclosure and disposal of personal information. At the same time, the rate of cyber attacks, data breaches and unauthorized use of personal data is growing exponentially. In the current environment, it is more important than ever, particularly for those organisations/business entities handling financial data, health information and other personally identifiable information, to understand the rights and obligations of individuals and organisations with respect to personal information.
The presentation will provide an overview of some of the new data privacy laws, rules and regulations that are, or soon will be, in effect, outline cyber security and data protection best practices and compliance programmes to help organisations comply with the evolving new data privacy requirements, and touch on the role of new technologies in mitigating risks and supporting compliance.

What Makes WordPress the Best CMS for SEO?
WordPress is the perfect platform for creating beautiful, attention-grabbing websites. However, like with most things, being pretty isn’t enough. You want your website to be a fully functioning machine and most of all, you want your website to be found.
WordPress sure has a come a long way since it’s initial release in 2003, hasn’t it? What started out as a simple blogging tool has become arguably the leading content management system in the world.
For those compelling reasons, I would like to expand on why Google’s own Matt Cutts is a fan of WordPress, calling it “a fantastic piece of software.” Because Google wants all websites to implement best SEO practices, I’ll tackle why with WordPress you’re sure you’ll not go wrong in your SEO Campaign.
Whether you’ve used WordPress in the past, or want to start using it for your business or personal blog, I’ll talk about the breakdown of why WordPress is the absolute best platform to use as the foundation of your SEO success story.

Contributing to the WordPress core
One of the beauties of WordPress is that it is open source. As such it needs a healthy group of contributors. As the WordPress community in Entebbe who benefit directly or indirectly from WordPress, we have a responsibility to give back to WordPress in response to how much we freely receive from it. This discussion will guide WordPress developers on how to contribute code to the WordPress core.
Not another plugin to install!
We have all become familiar with the plugin territory but how can we best harness it getting the most.

WordPress is an excellent choice for small, medium, and large nonprofit sites because:

Backup Before You Crackup
Your Site Is Only As Safe As Your Last Good Backup. Website owners dedicate a lot of resources and time for even the most basic of websites. Unfortunately… Servers do fail. Websites get hacked. And crucial website files can accidentally be deleted. Are you and your team prepared for the worst?
Most website owners have a false sense of security in regards to how they’ll recover from a website disaster. Backups are your last line of defense when things go terribly wrong.
I know what it feels like to lose a site – to wake up one morning and have it gone, or hacked, or inaccessible because of server issues. With regular backups, you can avoid this issue and restore or move your site quickly so it’s not affecting your business.
During this presentation, I’ll show you some of my favorite plugins to backup/restore websites effortlessly.
