Connect2Trust and Protect.ngo were two of the partners to research cyber resilience of NGOs in The Hague in 2024, mapping their cyber landscape, providing customised CTI and delivering hands-on support as a follow-up. They found that many nonprofits are ill-equipped to protect their IT infrastructure against the rising threat that may reach nation-state level. Now, they need an even greater level of ambition to protect themselves, in both speed and scale.
The Cyber Builders of Protect.ngo and the automation capabilities of the ThreatMatcher Platform for CTI sharing from Connect2Trust offer a joint and unique answer to reach that ambition. Their many years of experience in delivering these capabilities across countries in collaboration with governments, corporations, nonprofits and the IT industry, will help to protect those that are most vulnerable.
Together, we welcome AI industry initiatives that enable nonprofits to seize the temporary advantage of the “Mythos Window” by strengthening their systems and deploying AI-powered defenses before comparable capabilities become available to cybercriminals. No single organisation can build or afford such capabilities alone. Creating trusted communities and ISACs that share threat intelligence, warnings and expertise, combined with improving vulnerability management and accelerating incident response requires new shared AI-enabled capabilities. This is what Protect.ngo and Connect2Trust already do best. Now let’s make these capabilities ready for the AI-driven future that is already here.
