Successful cybersecurity isn’t about heroics, it’s about preventing disasters you’ll never hear about.

In this episode, Andrew Nuxoll, Managing Director of IT Operations and Cybersecurity at UNICEF USA, shares his journey from working at various managed service providers to leading cybersecurity efforts at a global NGO. Andrew offers insights into why cybersecurity is more than just keeping the lights on, how purpose-driven work changes the stakes, and the strategies he employs to manage cybersecurity on a tight nonprofit budget.


You'll learn:

1. Why cybersecurity should be your top priority—and how to make it happen on any budget
2. The critical importance of end-user awareness in defending against cyber threats
3. The challenges of transitioning to cloud-based operations and how to navigate them
4. Why the idea of a ‘single pane of glass’ in IT tools might be a myth—and what to do instead
5. How purpose-driven IT work differs from the corporate world and why it matters
