📣 Today we launch the CyberPeace Analytical Report! NGOs serving Humanity at risk: Cyber Threats affecting International Geneva NGOs are critical in providing healthcare, education, disaster relief, and human rights advocacy. The CyberPeace Analytical Report explores how these NGOs confront a complex cyber threat environment. This report builds on desktop research by our cyber analysts on the Geneva ecosystem, technical analyses including vulnerability scans and dark web monitoring, and with in-depth surveys with local NGOs. 🔑 Key findings: ➡️ 70% of NGOs don't think or aren't sure whether they have an adequate level of resilience to recover from a disruptive cyberattack. ➡️ 33% of NGOs lack IT support or technical expertise. ➡️ 87.5% of smaller NGOs (1-10 staff members) report not having IT support. ➡️ Over a quarter of NGOs fail to keep an inventory of physical assets. 🎤 We are honoured to host the first part of the Cyber Community & Capacity building event programme today, to share the new CyberPeace Analytical Report with the wider public! Happy to hear your thoughts & engage! Click on the link below to dive into the complete analysis: ➡️ geneva.cyberpeace.ngo 🔗
