CyberPeace Institute

The CyberPeace Institute’s CyberPeace Builders program addresses the critical need for cybersecurity expertise in the nonprofit sector, connecting corporate volunteers with nonprofits to enhance cyber resilience through pro bono cybersecurity consulting. This grant supports the expansion of the CyberPeace Builders program to the U.S. and will empower the CyberPeace Institute to hire a U.S.-based staff member, facilitating stronger connections between volunteers, nonprofits, corporations, and government agencies. (Strategy: Core Institutions)

The CyberPeace Institute focuses specifically on enhancing the stability of cyberspace by supporting the protection of civilian infrastructures from sophisticated, systemic attacks. It works to safeguard the integrity of the online ecosystem by directing assistance to vulnerable victims of large-scale cyber-attacks and promoting greater accountability when those attacks violate international expectations and laws. This grant supports the overall Cyber Initiative strategy to cultivate a field that develops thoughtful, multidisciplinary solutions to complex cyber challenges.
