The CRC has been recognized by CISA's CI Fortify initiative as a resource for strengthening community cyber resilience. This reinforces that #cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and that #volunteers have a role to play. shorturl.at/4DBvb @cltcberkeley.bsky.social @craignewmark.bsky.social

The Cyber Resilience Corps (Protect.ngo and @cltcberkeley.bsky.social with support from @craignewmark.bsky.social) has been working with #organisations to understand the challenges they face. Their message: connecting cybervolunteers with communities requires infrastructure, support, and resources.

Cybersecurity is not overhead. It’s operational resilience. CSOs are expected to operate securely, yet #cybersecurity is often treated as administrative overhead. This approach no longer reflects reality. Cybersecurity makes impact possible. Fragile organizations cannot protect people.

Community security is national security Democratic societies rely on CSOs to operate safely. When organizations become digitally unsafe, democratic resilience weakens. At #ProtectNGO‘26, participants agreed that civil society must be actively integrated into national cyber resilience models.
