COVID-19 NEWS: Cybersecurity Collaborative Offers Funding to Subsidize Membership
Cybersecurity Collaborative and its parent company, CyberRisk Alliance, announced a $1 million fund to help organizations whose cybersecurity resources have been affected by the pandemic join the alliance. It shares the following:The fund includes a limited number of complimentary memberships for academic and public sector organizations and makes grants available to commercial sector organizations to subsidize 50% of first year membership dues in the Cybersecurity Collaborative. The pandemic has brought new information security threats to organizations of all sizes, at the same time as economic conditions have constrained budgets in technology and cybersecurity areas. The Cyber Resiliency Fund is intended to help companies access immediate cybersecurity resources and tools that address top priorities such as ransomware, phishing and securing work-from-home environments. “Helping cybersecurity leaders raise the effectiveness of their operations is central to our mission,” says John Whelan, CyberRisk Alliance’s president. “We recognize that it is a difficult time for many organizations to invest in new security resources, so are pleased to offer this fund to make the Collaborative’s important services more accessible.” To apply for a fund grant (by Dec. 31, 2020), email Parham.Eftekhari@CyberRiskAlliance.com.
