Cyber Security for Charities and Non-Profits Organisations

Nonprofit organisations hold important personal and financial information which makes them susceptible to attacks, especially in an age where there are widespread cyber crimes. These challenges also arise when many people engage in joint undertakings with government agencies and private organisations through personal devices that have minimum resources.

In 2022 research into the attitudes and practices regarding cyber security among UK charities highlighted that 30% of charities identified a cyber attack.

Another research into the attitudes and practices regarding cyber security among more than one hundred UK charities highlighted ten per cent did not include cybersecurity on their agenda during board meetings and five per cent had inadequately trained staff who could only detect a few computer-based irregularities. This supports the need to improve cyber awareness and resources towards better cyber security in non-profit organisations.

Supporting Charities: An important imperative with regard to increasing cyber threats.

Challenges Facing Charities

It is a short form of ‘malware’ and comprises viruses, trojans, worms, etc., which are detrimental to computers, networks, and other
electronic equipment.

2. Denial of service (DoS)

This is a form of cyber attack where one tries to forcefully flood a computer with requests such that genuine users will always fail to connect with it.

3. Ransomware attacks

Malware locks up databases or systems making them inaccessible to users and demands payment for access.

4. Phishing

Phishing, is a common activity carried out through unaddressed mass emails aimed at retrieving confidential data such as bank accounts or redirecting its victim to fake websites, can be described as such. This is also possible using text messages, social media platforms, or even phone calls.
