The Cyber Civil Defense Summit [1], founded in 2023, is a global, multistakeholder event focused on strengthening cybersecurity resilience for civil society organizations, non-profits, and other vulnerable communities.

Overview

First held in 2023, the Cyber Civil Defense Summit convenes participants from government, industry, academia, and civil society to discuss cybersecurity challenges affecting organizations involved in human rights, democratic processes, and public interest activities online [2].

The event addresses cybersecurity as an element of civil defense in the digital environment. It provides a forum for sharing practices, proposing collaborative initiatives, and exploring ways to strengthen the cybersecurity capabilities of resource-constrained organizations. Full recaps of the 2023 and 2024 Cyber Civil Defense Summits can be accessed through the Summit webpage, with separate links available for each event: Inaugural Cyber Civil Defense Summit (2023) [3] and Eight Key Takeaways from the 2024 Summit[4]. Both of the events were hosted by the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity[5] .
