Exciting News! 🚨🌉 Today, the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC) at the University of California, Berkeley, in partnership with the City and County of San Francisco, launched the "CyberCAN: Cybersecurity for Cities and Nonprofits" report! Based on a survey of 68 SF-based nonprofits, the report reveals key cybersecurity challenges nonprofits face and offers actionable insights for cities to strengthen their #CyberResilience and #DigitalEquity. As Reymon (Rey) LaChaux, SF’s Digital Equity Manager, put it: “This report highlights a gap in cybersecurity resources that leaves many nonprofits vulnerable to cyber threats. By addressing these disparities, we can create a more resilient nonprofit sector and reinforce San Francisco’s commitment to digital inclusion and equity for all.” 📝 Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/gq6PeANd Special thanks to the City and County of San Francisco, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, and Okta for Good for supporting this vital work!

Cybersecurity isn’t just for businesses and agencies—nonprofits are facing mounting threats too, and the stakes are just as high! The CLTC’s *CyberCan* report shines a light on these unique challenges and offers practical solutions with the help of local cities. From resource sharing to building partnerships, it’s about strengthening defenses where it matters most: protecting communities and causes. Take a moment to explore how we can all help drive these critical conversations: [CyberCan Report](https://lnkd.in/edUa7KDr) #CyberSecurity #CityDefense #NonprofitsMatter

🌐 While nonprofits face an increasing number of cyberthreats, there is a lack of awareness for this issue, leading to a lack of funding and protection of these organizations and the people they serve. Leaders of nonprofits now ask for comprehensive public documentation on the human, societal, and environmental impacts of cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns against their organizations, fostering a culture of transparency and accountability in cyberspace.

“The entities responsible for protecting the most vulnerable in society and driving economic growth worldwide are among the least capable of protecting themselves.
