Summary
Despite their vulnerability to advanced cyber threats, many civil society organizations operate on lean budgets and cannot significantly invest in cybersecurity. CISA’s High-Risk Communities webpage provides resources specifically for civil society organizations, such as: Project Upskill , a suite of cyber hygiene guides designed to arm individuals of high-risk organizations with simple steps to meaningfully improve their cyber hygiene. Cybersecurity Resources for High-Risk Communities , which offers a wide selection of free or steeply discounted tools and services. Cyber Volunteer Resource Center , a repository of cyber volunteer programs across the country that provide free, hands-on cybersecurity support to under-resourced organizations.
