#5 Guest Episode | Compromised Every 31 Seconds: What Nonprofits Get Wrong About Cybersecurity Ft...

Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2615981/fa...) Most nonprofits assume they're too small to matter to hackers — and that assumption is exactly what makes them a target.  In this episode of the Executive Thought Partner Podcast, Dr. Dan Freeman sits down with Trey Tucker of ATNET to unpack why nonprofits have quietly become one of the most attractive targets for cybercriminals. They cover the real mechanics of an attack — from AI-sharpened phishing emails that are nearly impossible to spot, to deepfake scams that have cost organizations hundreds of thousands of dollars — and why volunteers and board members, often overlooked in security training, end up being the weakest link in the chain. The conversation moves from the scary stuff to the practical: what cyber insurance actually covers (and where the gaps are), why password managers and MFA are non-negotiable basics, and a rundown of free or deeply discounted tools — from Microsoft 365 nonprofit pricing to CISA's free phishing simulations — that make real protection possible even on a shoestring budget. Trey closes with a stat that reframes the whole conversation: small businesses are compromised every 31 seconds in the U.S. This episode is a clear-eyed, non-alarmist look at what it actually takes to protect your donors, your team, and your mission.
