In today’s digital-first world, nonprofits depend on technology to deliver services, engage communities, and scale impact. But with that reliance comes growing risk—from identity-based attacks to AI-driven threats and cloud vulnerabilities. The 2025 Microsoft Digital Defense Report offers a strategic lens into the global cybersecurity landscape. For nonprofit leaders, it’s more than a technical document—it’s a wake-up call. Cybersecurity is no longer a back-office concern. It’s a mission-critical priority.

Key Takeaways for Nonprofits:
  • Identity is the new attack surface—protect credentials, not just systems.
  • AI is reshaping both threats and defenses—learn to leverage it.
  • Cloud and vendor vulnerabilities are rising—secure your digital supply chain.
  • Resilience matters—build systems that recover quickly and train your teams.
  • The quantum era is coming—start preparing for post-quantum cryptography.
Why It Matters:

Protecting data means protecting people. Embedding cybersecurity into every layer of your organization—from boardroom strategy to frontline service delivery—is essential to maintaining trust and impact.
