After 25 years of building enterprise-grade technology solutions in the DC Metro area, I’ve had countless conversations with nonprofit leaders that all seem to end the same way: “We know we need better technology, but…”  But our budget is tight. But we don’t have IT expertise in-house. But we’ve been burned by vendors who didn’t understand our mission.  These conversations have haunted me for years. Here are organizations literally changing the world – feeding the hungry, advancing medical research, protecting vulnerable populations – and they’re being held back by the same technology challenges we solve every day for Fortune 500 companies.  That changes today.  The Moment Everything Clicked  Last year, I was sitting in a meeting with a nonprofit that serves food allergy families. They were manually managing donor relationships in spreadsheets, their website hadn’t been updated in three years, and they were losing sleep over cybersecurity risks – all while doing groundbreaking work that saves children’s lives.  I realized we had a choice: Keep doing what we’ve always done, or use our 25+ years of expertise to serve organizations that truly need it most.  Introducing the Resource Stack Non-Profit Success Center  Today, I’m excited to announce that we’re launching our Non-Profit Success Center (https://nonprofits.resourcestack.com/) – a dedicated service hub that brings enterprise-level technology solutions to mission-driven organizations.  This isn’t about charity. This is about recognizing that nonprofits deserve the same caliber of technology that powers the world’s most successful companies, delivered in a way that respects their unique constraints and priorities.  What Makes This Different?  Mission-First Thinking: Every solution we design starts with the question: “How does this advance your mission?” Whether it’s donor management, program delivery, or security – technology should amplify impact, not create obstacles.  Enterprise Expertise, Nonprofit Reality: We’re bringing the same methodologies that work for government agencies and Fortune 500 clients, but tailored for organizations that need to squeeze every dollar of value from their technology investments.  Strategic Partnerships: Through partnerships with industry leaders like Cloudflare and Zendesk, we’re ensuring nonprofits get access to premium tools without premium price tags.  The Bigger Picture  The pandemic proved that technology isn’t optional anymore – it’s essential infrastructure for mission delivery. Yet too many nonprofits are still struggling with legacy systems, security vulnerabilities, and digital experiences that don’t reflect the incredible work they do.  We’re changing that conversation. Instead of “Can we afford good technology?” the question becomes “How can technology help us serve more people, more effectively?”  Looking Ahead  This launch represents more than a new service line – it’s our commitment to ensuring that the organizations working on society’s biggest challenges have access to the same technological advantages as any Fortune 500 company.  If you’re leading or working with a nonprofit that’s ready to think differently about technology, I’d love to hear from you. And if you’re in the tech industry, I challenge you to consider how your expertise could serve organizations whose work extends far beyond profit margins.  The future of social impact depends on more than good intentions – it requires good technology. Let’s make sure mission-driven organizations have both.  Read the full announcement and learn more about the Non-Profit Success Center: https://www.prlog.org/13097899-resource-stack-launches-specialized-non-profit-success-center.html #NonprofitTechnology #SocialImpact #DigitalTransformation #TechForGood #NonprofitLeadership #MissionDriven #CyberSecurity #CloudSolutions #DCNonprofits

I have been pitching EDR solutions for as long as I have can remember now. Just yesterday during a casual conversation with a friend it dawned on me “Started with purpose, got stuck in process.” when he asked me why is my good old anti virus not enough for securing our endpoints. I probably got what I like to call – “I knew everything… except where to begin”. While there is no finite list of comparison  Hence I thought this was a good time to give a structure to the comparison.  Cloud-Native Architecture CrowdStrike Falcon, for example, is built from the ground up as a cloud-native platform. This means: Advanced Threat Detection & Response CrowdStrike and Coro.net offer: These features go beyond signature-based detection, which is still a core method for our old and trusted Anti Virus Solutions. Ease of Use and Automation Coro.net is praised for its “user-friendly interface”, “automated remediation”, and “strong support” — making it ideal for lean IT teams or MSSPs like yours. CrowdStrike, while more complex, offers deep customization and integration for mature security operations. Enterprise-Grade Features Lastly, Most or all of our most popular traditional anti virus solutions are more consumer-focused, with features like parental controls and VPNs, which are less relevant in enterprise-grade security stacks.
