Understanding the challenges of securing an NGO

Summary: A Cisco Talos author who sits on panels and volunteers for the NGO community described how humanitarian and non-governmental organizations usually have none or very few of the expertise, tooling and diverse security skillsets that a company like Talos can draw on. In today's global humanitarian funding climate, grants are scarce, competition for remaining dollars is fierce, and cybersecurity can fall by the wayside.
What's compelling: The people these organizations serve are vulnerable and marginalized, and the volunteers supporting them should have privacy without malicious interference, yet the funding squeeze leaves security competing against the mission itself.
