Nonprofits are the second most attacked sector when it comes to cyber threats; yet 59% of large humanitarian and development actors believe that their own cybersecurity and information security practice is underfunded, and 65% believe it is inadequately managed. This puts all of our communities at our most vulnerable at risk.

Join Okta, Nethope, CyberPeace Institute and UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity for a panel discussion on how they are meeting this challenge with data, partnership and new programs to support nonprofits with practical advice to shore up their security posture.

What are the main ways AI impacts nonprofit cybersecurity risks?

Not surprisingly, Matt Eshleman, CTO at Community IT, recommends creating policies that address the way your staff uses AI – if you haven’t updated your Acceptable Use policies recently, AI concerns are a good reason to do that. He also recommends taking an inventory of your file sharing permissions before AI surfaces something that wasn’t secured correctly. Finally, make sure your staff training is up to date, engaging, and constant. AI is creating more believable attacks that change more frequently; if your staff don't know what to look out for you could fall for the newest scams or share sensitive data with a public AI generator.

Community IT has created an Acceptable Use of AI Tools policy template; you can download it for free from their site.
