The Rising Issue of Cybersecurity in Nonprofits - A Future of Good Report

In this video, Sharlene Gandhi, tech and data reporter at Future of Good, discusses the pressing issue of cybersecurity risks in the Canadian non-profit sector. Gandhi shares the increasingly common instances of cyber-attacks on major non-profits like Scouts Canada, YWCA, and the Toronto Public Library. She explains the damaging effects of such attacks, from compromising personal data of already vulnerable individuals to a loss of trust and reputational damage. Finally, she offers potential solutions for nonprofits to become more resilient to these risks, emphasizing the need for internal audits, cybersecurity policies, and staff training.
