Why Cyber Essentials Matter for Charities
Charities are increasingly becoming targets for cyber attacks due to their often limited resources and reliance on volunteers. Implementing robust cybersecurity measures is crucial to protect sensitive data, maintain donor trust, and ensure the continuity of charitable activities.
Key Cyber Essentials for Charities
- Secure Configuration: Ensuring that systems are configured securely to reduce vulnerabilities.
- Access Control: Implementing strict access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can access sensitive information.
- Malware Protection: Using up-to-date antivirus software and other tools to protect against malware.
- Patch Management: Regularly updating software and systems to protect against known vulnerabilities.
- Firewalls and Internet Gateways: Using firewalls to protect the network from unauthorized access and threats.
By adopting these essential controls, charities can significantly reduce the risk of cyber attacks and protect their valuable data.
