“In the nonprofit sector we are so focused on mission advancement that often that good part also creates an elevated risk. What breaks my heart is if an organization loses funding because they weren’t compliant.”
“Nonprofits are a leading target of cyber threats and there’s a reason, there’s a lot of gain and a lot of weakness associated.”
“Cyberthreats will always evolve and there’s nothing we can do about that, but what we can do is help people be the safest version of themselves that they can be.”
