CyberPeace Builders – Building your nonprofit’s digital resilience

Join us for a keynote session introducing the CyberPeace Builders program—a pioneering initiative developed by the CyberPeace Institute that revolutionizes cybersecurity for nonprofits. In an international landscape fraught with digital threats, this program serves as an example of successful collaboration, bringing together corporate cybersecurity experts who volunteer their expertise to help nonprofits. During the keynote, we will present the General Cybersecurity Assessment that allows nonprofits to identify vulnerabilities, paving their way for targeted solutions in the shape of 34 meticulously crafted missions. Whether you’re a cybersecurity aficionado or an outsider, this keynote promises to inspire and educate, igniting a dialogue on the imperative cyberpeace in a world that is more volatile than ever. Let’s pave the path to a safer, more resilient digital future for the most vulnerable together.
