NASSCOM empowers NGOs with security solutions

In a bid to empower NGOs while donating security and backup solutions from Symantec through its Big Tech Program, NASSCOM Foundation enables NGOs to keep their data secure while diverting a large part of their IT security budgets to solving social issues.

In a world driven by information and communication technology (ICT), a large number of NGOs in India are using outdated or free security solutions with limited protection, making them highly vulnerable to hacking, data thefts, Trojan horses, viruses, warms, spyware, adware, rootkits and other security threats.

NGOs from across the country, will now be able to protect themselves from these risks and fulfill their organizational security and backup needs like online transactions/donations, employee and donor privacy, and even protection against data loss due to system/server crashes.

With Symantec Security Solutions, organizations of any size can have a simple and affordable desktop security that protects against today’s ever evolving threats. On the other hand, through the backup and recovery solutions, they can eliminate complexity, perform backups and keep costs down without compromising availability of their information.

The BigTech program endeavors to provide technology led solutions to the NGOs to help increase their effectiveness.Since its inception, the program has successfully donated software worth Rs. 34 crores to NGOs across India.
