A coalition of organizations are coming together to launch a central resource to support the information security needs of humanitarian organizations. This interesting news came to us from Devex in their article, “New partnership aims to help NGOs ramp up cybersecurity.”
Most organizations aren’t fully prepared to fight cyberattacks. When it comes to non-profits and non-governmental organizations (NGO), the gap is even wider.
Recently a consortium of nonprofit organizations focused on technology for good – NetHope – announced a partnership to address this problem. The coalition of organizations are coming together to launch an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC), a model that many organizations use to share cyberthreats within their sectors.
The ISAC aims to provide a central resource to support the information security needs of humanitarian organizations, offering training and advice on cybersecurity and threat response, identifying risks and suggesting fixes and providing tools and technology to react to threats.
