In an era of escalating cyber threats, nonprofits face unique challenges. Okta, a leading identity and access management provider, is addressing this through its social impact initiative, Okta for Good. Recent research from the 2023 State of Humanitarian and Development Cybersecurity Report by Nethope reveals that 59% of large humanitarian organizations believe their cybersecurity practices are underfunded, and 65% consider them inadequately managed. To combat this, Okta for Good has committed over $1 million to enhance cybersecurity in the social sector through its Nonprofit Cybersecurity Portfolio.
Additionally, Okta has announced a $100,000 grant to the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC) to support the Cybersecurity Futures 2030 project. This initiative aims to identify emerging cybersecurity trends and risks for governments, industries, and civil society. Okta is also celebrating the one-year anniversary of NetHope’s Humanitarian Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC), a partnership that provides cross-sector support for the information security needs of nonprofit agencies and vulnerable communities worldwide.
Okta’s efforts demonstrate a holistic approach to cybersecurity for the social sector, emphasizing collaboration and commitment from all sectors. The company invites customers, partners, and employees to join the movement of digital protection for the most vulnerable, advocating for collective effort to bridge the cybersecurity gaps in the nonprofit sector.
