Episode notes
Community Organizations Are Cyber Weak Links
- Community organizations are widely under-resourced and face skyrocketing cyber threats from ransomware and nation-state actors.
- The Cyber Resilience Corps (CRC) connects volunteer groups to create a coordinated safety net for those organizations.
Coordination Multiplies Volunteer Impact
- Diverse volunteer groups operated in silos, limiting scale and impact of community cyber defense.
- CRC published a Roadmap to coordinate groups and share best practices to scale volunteer services.
Use The CRC Platform To Find Help
- Use cybervolunteers.us to find local volunteer groups or to register as a volunteer quickly.
- Filter by location, organization type, and services to match needs and eligibility.
