Nonprofit Cybersecurity Awareness Training: Building Digital Resilience

Nonprofits face rising cyber threats that endanger their missions and data. Through nonprofit cybersecurity awareness training, Lucy Security and the CyberPeace Builders empower NGOs and educators to recognise phishing and build lasting digital resilience.

Why Nonprofit Cybersecurity Awareness Training Matters

Cybercriminals increasingly target organisations that serve the public good. They know nonprofits hold valuable data yet often lack enterprise-grade defences. A single phishing email or stolen password can cause major financial and reputational harm.

Through this partnership, Lucy Security and CyberPeace Builders make cybersecurity awareness for nonprofits accessible to any organisation — regardless of size, location, or budget. By using Lucy’s multilingual awareness platform, volunteer experts can run phishing simulations and interactive training programs at scale, ensuring every team member knows how to recognise and report suspicious activity.

From Digital Exposure to Digital Empowerment

The M-PESA Foundation Academy in Kenya faced the same challenge as many nonprofits: digitalisation without adequate cybersecurity preparation. Staff and students worked online daily but lacked the knowledge to identify threats.

With support from CyberPeace Builders and Lucy’s phishing simulation for NGOs, the Academy created a culture of vigilance and shared responsibility. In just a few months, phishing click rates fell sharply, and cybersecurity became part of everyday operations.

This example shows how nonprofit cybersecurity awareness training empowers users instead of punishing mistakes — turning uncertainty into confidence.
