The Nonprofit Hero Factory

For most nonprofits, the cost of a cybersecurity professional seems unjustifiable. However, the cost of an attack could be catastrophic. (And if a cyberattack sounds like something that happens to large tech companies, you haven’t been keeping up with the headlines.) Fortunately, there are simple approaches along with low-cost tools and training that can help mitigate those threats, help you meet requirements and help you sleep easier at night knowing that your supporter data, funds and, more importantly, supporter trust is secure. Joshua Peskay of RoundTable Technology started out as an “accidental techie” in a small nonprofit, so he understands the struggles they face. He joined us on the show to talk about the risks, the tools and the strategies for minimizing and managing the threats that we all face today. ** Episode Links and Shownotes: https://nphf.show/ep43 ** What we’ll be discussing: • The threats that nonprofits are facing and the pressures they’re feeling from all sides • Challenges of justifying cybersecurity costs to supporters vs. the true costs of not being secure • Free assessment tools and trainings to identify and shore up weaknesses • Three simple, inexpensive measures that nonprofits can take to dramatically decrease the risks of cyber attacks • A plan for starting and not feeling overwhelmed
