Software & Vendors
This collection of articles explores general cybersecurity considerations, approaches, perspectives, and best practices.
A informative article by UpGuard that covers common Software as a Service (SaaS) risks such as cloud misconfigurations and lack of due diligence in vendor selection. SaaS vendors include popular services like Salesforce, Trello, MS365, Google Workspace. There are thousands of SaaS venders and they vary greatly in terms of the security features they offer and the degree of compliance with recognized cybersecurity frameworks. This is especially true of start-up vendors. Some SaaS vendors may not provide even the most basic features, such as multi-factor authentication for all account types or admin dashboard visibility for login attempts.
This TechTarget article goes beyond the needs of most nonprofits that are just beginning to build a security program, but it's worth a few moments to scan the list of free tools. Some are very techie but give you some insight into various facets of the cybersecurity field, and others such as Have I Been Pwned are non-technical and can be used in your security awareness program. TechTarget is a free resource of reliable information created for a non-technical audience. It's an excellent option for learning about tech and cybersecurity and sharing with your team.
