Nonprofit Thwarts Phishing Campaign

A nonprofit with 15 staff members and a tight budget implemented JOSM, configuring email filters to block malicious attachments and training staff to spot phishing via a free security awareness program. Win: In early 2025, a spear-phishing campaign targeting nonprofits hit their inbox, but the filters caught 95% of the malicious emails, and an employee reported the one that slipped through, preventing a potential theft of donor data. The nonprofit saved an estimated $20,000 in incident response costs and maintained donor confidence.
