Description

Increase the resilience of NGOs, which are frequent targets of cyber attacks that threaten their finances and/or reputation, and which generally lack the resources to prevent and respond to the malicious cyber acts they suffer.

Objectives

1 – Raise awareness among NGOs and associations about cyber risks.

2 – Conduct offensive actions (e.g. pentesting, bug bounty, etc.) to identify potential security vulnerabilities and prioritise/guide the beneficiary NGO’s security efforts.

3 – Conduct defensive actions to support an NGO that has been the victim of a cyberattack (during or after the incident).

Course of action

  1. 1

    Get in touch with an organisation that centralises, organises and allocates aid proposals to NGOs that request it.

  2. 2

    Join its volunteer programme.

  3. 3

    Carry out volunteer missions (training and awareness-raising, bug bounty, pentesting, incident response, etc.). There are many missions available, varying in duration.

  4. 4

    If you wish, you can participate in events organised by the organisation that provides you with assignments and meet the NGOs you support.
