Almost exactly 2 years ago, I wrote about the startup of Nonprofit Cyber - a voluntary "coalition of the willing and able" of cybersecurity nonprofits. Since then, we've grown in numbers, found new ways to work together, and created a broad network of allies. And I think we are just getting started! Philip Reitinger of the Global Cyber Alliance and I have the honor of serving again as Co-Chairs for the next 2 years. Here's a short clip from the abstract of an RSA talk in 2022 (with my co-speaker, Kiersten E. Todt ) that still rings pretty true today: >>>>> "Cybersecurity non-profit organizations are essential resources improving cyber defense for every enterprise, in every dimension, and for the ecosystem as a whole. We create guidance, standards, and best practices, conduct research, educate individuals and businesses, build and share great tools, and operate important infrastructure. Non-profits are often natural “integration engines,” bringing together great people and ideas across technical disciplines, the public and private sectors, industry sectors, and even across national borders. And non-profits can also be the place where individuals or small enterprises can have impact equal to the largest enterprises. " >>>>> After a 35 year public-service career as a Federal employee (National Security Agency), I cannot imagine a better Second Act than being part of the team at the non-profit Center for Internet Security - AND the chance to be part of such a fantastic community of colleagues, allies, and friends. https://lnkd.in/e62mtiYQ
