HCSS report: Non-profit cybersecurity organizations essential but underfunded (hcss.nl)

• Non-profit groups protect critical infrastructure and support SMEs.
• Their services prevent billions in losses but are undervalued.
• HCSS urges multi-year public funding and strategic inclusion.

"A new report from The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) highlights that non-profit cybersecurity organizations are crucial for protecting critical infrastructure and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) globally. Despite preventing billions in potential losses, these groups are structurally underfunded. Authors Hans Horan, Ron Stoop, and Jan Feldhusen call on governments and businesses to provide long-term funding. The report warns that reliance on underfunded non-profits poses a strategic risk to global cyber resilience."
