Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and a strong community is crucial to collectively defending against cyber threats. At Adobe, we believe that transparency and knowledge sharing is critical to moving cybersecurity forward.
With an increase in digital technology, comes an increase in cyber threats, and unfortunately, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are not immune. These organizations provide essential support and services to over 1 billion people worldwide, often leveraging technology to carry out their activities. NGOs often face resource constraints when it comes to understanding and defending against cyber threats while simultaneously supporting their dedicated communities. For example, less than 15 percent of NGOs have cybersecurity experts on their staff.
At Adobe, we see an opportunity for technology companies to work with our customers and communities — to make a unique impact where it is needed most.
Giving back with CyberPeace
Adobe believes that as a technology company, we have a unique role to play in being responsible global citizens. From hospitals to humanitarian NGOs, threat actors target the organizations playing an essential role in supporting those in need. Adobe can bring the skills of our organization to help NGOs to increase their responsiveness and resilience against evolving cyber threats in ways that would likely be difficult for them to achieve on their own. The use of technology is not only supportive of their mission but also important to their success. To help in the mission to protect NGOs around the world, Adobe has partnered with the CyberPeace Institute through their CyberPeace Builders program. This program offers distinctive matchmaking opportunities allowing corporate volunteers to work directly with NGOs to help improve their security capabilities and overall resilience.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the CyberPeace Institute and spreading the word about this important organization making an impact.
