IE RESOURCE NETWORK CONVENING - CYBER SECURITY FOR NONPROFITS
Practical Tips & Tools Series: Cyber Security for Nonprofits
As the cybersecurity landscape changes, nonprofits do not have specific standards to adhere to but are expected to have the same approach to cyber security management as for-profit companies and organizations. PocketSecurity, Inc. (a nonprofit for nonprofits) offers solutions to help educate, create awareness, and develop a plan in cyber security, risk management, and business continuity tailored to each nonprofit so individuals within each organization will feel empowered to make informed and strategic decisions to carry out their mission safely and confidently. At Pocket Security, Inc. we believe a proactive approach to securing data and systems is essential, especially as new threats arise looking for vulnerabilities within our organizations.

Founder/CEO
Pocket Security
Founder/CEO Leda Muller has extensive experience in the field of information technology and cyber security (over 20 years) as well as 10 years of experience in the nonprofit sector.
In her career journey, she worked for a nonprofit in Silicon Valley as the Director of Fundraising and Community Development, where she also became the Systems/Network Administrator and Help Desk. During her time at the nonprofit, she saw the rise and fall of dot.coms. Here she saw how technology can be used in a beneficial way but also saw glimpses of how data and information can be shared with others if controls are not in place.
She has organized and led many initiatives associated with information security, risk management, business continuity, security procedure/policy, and security steering/governance. Through her engagement with end-users, business operators, and executives she has been able to successfully instill the fundamental tenet that security is everyone's job.
Leda's shared passion for people, technology, and cyber security prompted her to start Pocket Security. She seeks to leverage her experience in information technology and cyber security to educate, strengthen, and advance the security posture of nonprofit organizations everywhere.
