Network Traffic Inspection

Network traffic inspection is the process of monitoring and analyzing the data that flows in and out of a nonprofit’s computer network. This includes emails, web activity, file transfers, and other communications between devices and external servers. For nonprofits, inspecting network traffic is a vital cybersecurity measure that helps detect suspicious behavior, prevent data breaches, and protect sensitive information such as donor records, financial data, and internal communications. Cybercriminals often target nonprofits because they may have limited security resources but still handle valuable data. By examining traffic patterns, Hacking for Good can spot unusual activity like unauthorized access attempts or unsecured communication and recommend mitigations. Regular network traffic inspection strengthens a nonprofit’s overall security posture and builds trust with supporters by demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding their information.
