Cybersecurity for your Charity pt 2
Show Notes

Community IT Innovators’ CTO and Cybersecurity expert Matt Eshleman discussed cybersecurity in a new webinar conversation hosted by Art Taylor with Give.org, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and we want you and your charity to be on top of the latest cautions when it comes to the security of your data and websites. Only 20 percent of nonprofits report that they have a cyberattack policy in place. In this discussion with Matt Eshleman, Chief Technology Officer at Community IT, multiple nonprofit staff and executives had their questions answered about the current state of cybersecurity and practical steps their charitable organizations should be taking to protect themselves.

In part 2, Matt discusses cultural constraints and the nonprofit environment that creates assumptions about risk and return on investment for cybersecurity protections. But much of the action you can take should be focused on your staff training, and those investments can be a financial minimum with a huge financial savings when your organization avoids ransomware or other hacks. Matt closes by answering audience questions from practitioners at charities and nonprofits like yours.

As with all our presentations, this webinar on cybersecurity for your nonprofit charity is appropriate for an audience of varied IT experience. 

Community IT is proudly vendor-agnostic and our webinars cover a range of topics and discussions. Webinars are never a sales pitch, always a way to share our knowledge with our community.
