Whether or not your nonprofit faced Crowdstrike impacts, the aftermath of a national or worldwide incident is a great time to gather your cybersecurity team and run the exercise: what will your organization do during the next outage or cyber attack?

Nonprofit Cybersecurity expert Matt Eshleman shares his thoughts in this podcast on the importance of

• reviewing your incident response and business continuity plans regularly,
• practicing your response regularly – what will you do if a critical person is absent?
• involving stakeholders outside the domain of the IT team to weigh the recovery options and order of importance. Payroll first? Email? Securing a backup of your data?

As the Chief Technology Officer at Community IT, Matthew Eshleman leads the team responsible for strategic planning, research, and implementation of the technology platforms used by nonprofit organization clients to be secure and productive. With a deep background in network infrastructure, he fundamentally understands how nonprofit tech works and interoperates both in the office and in the cloud. With extensive experience serving nonprofits, Matt also understands nonprofit culture and constraints, and has a history of implementing cost-effective and secure solutions at the enterprise level.
