CyberPeace Builders - Adrien Ogee
Pro hackers who volunteer to help NGOs improve their cybersecurity.
Title:
CyberPeace Builders
Presenter:
Adrien Ogee
Abstract:
The CyberPeace Builders are pro hackers who volunteer to help NGOs improve their cybersecurity. Through a portal that I’ll demo, hackers can access a variety of short engagements, from 1 to 4 hours, to provide targeted cybersecurity help to NGOs on topics ranging from staff awareness to DMARC implementation, password management and authentication practices, breach notification, OSINT and dark web monitoring, all the way to designing a cyber-related poster for the staff, reviewing their privacy policy and cyber insurance papers. The programme is the world’s first and only skills-based volunteering opportunity for professionals in the cybersecurity industry; it has been prototyped over 2 years, was launched in July 2021 and is now being used by over 60 NGOs worldwide, ultimately helping to protect over 350 million vulnerable people and $500 million in funds. I’ll demo the platform, show the type of help NGOs need and explain how NGOs and security professionals can leverage the programme.
