Join Us For Our Tenth Anniversary of Celebrating the NGO's Role in Cybersecurity at Non-Profits on the Loose @ RSA Conference 2020
Since 2011, APWG (https://apwg.org/about-us/) and its correspondents in the NGO community who animate a good deal of the global cybersecurity effort have celebrated the special contributions of NGOs and public-private partnerships in cybersecurity every year with a reception during the annual RSA Conference.
And in 2020, Non-Profits on the Loose (https://apwg.org/npol-rsa-conference-2020/) (NPOL) is itself celebrating it's tenth year since APWG (https://apwg.org/about-us/) and NCSA (https://staysafeonline.org/) founded this reception, unique in its mission to fete the non-profit sector's contributions - and to foster new collaborations at this, one of the most curiously useful events in the IT security conferencing experience.
Please join us - as a sponsor or as a reveler - at this important celebration and help us ponder the power of the non-profit sector in cybersecurity yesterday (remember, RSA stands for three university professors), today (as we prepare for our 24th national launch (https://education.apwg.org/safety-messaging-convention/overview/global-partners) of the non-profit STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign) and tomorrow (which is regularly predicted at academic research conferences like the APWG's eCrime research conference (https://apwg.org/ecrime-event-about/)).

The crew that pulled together the research and launched the initial STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign in the US really was truly unprecedented (https://stopthinkconnect.org/about/institutional-history). The prospectus that APWG developed (https://education.apwg.org/download/document/83/APWG_NCSA_Messaging_Convention_Program_Prospectus.pdf) in 2008 and 2009, proposing a cybersecurity awareness campaign of shared assets, and circulated among APWG members and correspondents and NCSA board members, returned delegates from more than 20 high-profile organizations to the July 2009 muster at Fox Interactive Media in Beverly Hills.

Foundational research and development of the slogan, logo and cybersecurity messaging suite for the campaign were completed and released in the United States in October, 2010, The velocity was surprising but the group's edge was obvious: it was the most good-natured and smartest bunch you could have imagined. There was a lesson in the development of the campaign, research director Aimee Larsen-Kirkpatrick (then of NCSA, now of the Global Cyber Alliance) surmized, and proposed NPOL as a way to recognize it and celebrate it - and maybe to inspire other important collaborations. The rest is history or legend still in the making. . .
The reception is an important reminder of the power of defining - precisely - shared objectives across the stake-holding sectors. RSA Conference embodies a number of opportunities for its myriad constituencies, NPOL reminds us uniquely in this important milieu that there are vital enterprises that are neither product or service nor law - but solutions of broad utility that can only succeed by public and private sector cooperation.
Please join us for our tenth edition of NPOL at:
