You might think cybercriminals only go after big corporations, but nonprofits are a prime target for cyber-attacks. Why? They handle valuable donor data, operate on limited IT budgets, and often lack formal cybersecurity policies—making them an easy target for hackers. From phishing scams to ransomware attacks, cyber threats can disrupt operations, erode trust, and even jeopardize funding. The good news is that strengthening your cybersecurity doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. Here's are a few things you can do to protect your nonprofit: ? Conduct regular security audits to identify vulnerabilities ? Train staff to spot phishing attempts and other scams ? Leverage cost-effective managed IT services to stay protected Make security a priority. Your nonprofit’s mission is too important to be derailed by cyber threats. #Nonprofits #NotForProfit #NGO #NonprofitTech #TechForGood

Do you know what your school's cybersecurity posture is? Schools are prime targets for cybercriminals, but many still don’t have a solid defense plan (let's not forget about the recent PowerSchool data breach). So in light of all the increasing cyber attacks "hoping for the best" is not a strategy, rather, a very dangerous approach. Here’s what every school should be doing right now: ? Security awareness training for staff (because 90% of breaches start with phishing) ? Regular audits to spot vulnerabilities before hackers do ? Partner with a proactive IT security team (not a reactive one) Cyber threats aren’t going anywhere. But you can control how much risk you're prone to.

High praise from our clients on Clutch always makes us proud! ?? Our charter school client hired CTS to migrate their on-premises server environment to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), streamlining their infrastructure and replacing OKTA IAM with Azure's native identity and access management solutions Measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrated progress/success included: *Centralized Identity Management: Successfully transitioned from Okta to Microsoft Entra ID, streamlining identity management across the organization. *Application Migration: Seamlessly reconfigured approximately 20 applications to work with Entra ID, enhancing security and accessibility. *Improved Device Management: Implemented Intune policies and utilized Autopilot for automated deployment, simplifying device management and boosting efficiency. Project Management:? "CTS provided excellent project management throughout the engagement. Our project manager effectively led the team, keeping tasks on track and meeting deadlines. The biggest milestone was the smooth transition from Okta to Entra ID, even with Okta set to be cut off prior to the cutover. The CTS team prioritized the transition, ensuring our organization retained access to core applications without disruption. Our project engineer played a crucial role in the technical implementation and support, proactively addressing items outside the overall scope and educating the team to better prepare for post-migration work. Both our project manager and project engineer were responsive and proactive, ensuring a seamless transition and quickly addressing any challenges that arose." ?

How much do you know about cloud computing and how it can benefit your school? Many schools are still hesitant to fully embrace the cloud - whether they're worried about security, costs, or the complexity of migration. But avoiding evolution by hanging onto outdated servers and clunky systems will cost you so much more (time and money) in the long run. Cloud-based solutions like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace aren’t just about convenience—they're about scalability, security, and saving money. No more expensive hardware, no more surprise upgrade costs, and no more sleepless nights over lost data. If your school hasn't made the move yet, it’s time to revisit all the great things the cloud can do for your organization. #EdTech #CloudComputing #K12Education #FutureOfEducation
