               Should a cyber attack occur, having a plan ready to go will ensure that all appropriate

               whether hackers can cover their tracks or steal more data from your systems.


               By utilizing the above three preventive measures, it should assist with creating policies.

               Cyber  threats  are  increasing  and  evolving,  such  as  Wannacry,  BadRabbit,  and
               NotPetya.  By  being  proactive,  nonprofits  will  be  better  equipped  for  the  upcoming

               security threats should it face a cyber attack. In return, nonprofits can continue doing

               the incredible work that they do and increase their services by fulfilling their impactful
               mission.
