Humanity under attack

“We were attacked from everywhere it seemed and we could not do anything about it. We watched all our work unravel. Then, the CyberPeace Builders provided my NGO with support and assistance to understand and recover from the attack.”

Christina Wille Director, Insecurity Insights (NGO)

In a world where

Cyberattacks target aid organizations helping persons fleeing war
Data of survivors of violence are sold online
Funds raised to provide medical care are being stolen
Humanitarian actors are targeted for surveillance
Disinformation operations sow distrust about humanitarian NGOs

There is an urgent need to help NGOs protect themselves from cyber threats.

Developed and hosted in Switzerland, operating globally.

Detect to protect

We conduct micro-level data analysis in which we detect and monitor threats to vulnerable communities.

By aggregating data shared with us by our cybersecurity and technology partners and by mapping the digital assets of our beneficiaries we are in a better position to protect them. We detect these threats using technical data points such as indicators of compromise (IOCs) and telemetry data. Building detection rules and alerts we provide our beneficiaries with triaged information and practical recommendations to help them protect their data and systems.
