Our Mission
Making cybersecurity knowledge accessible to everyonethrough education, community, and practical resources
Our Purpose
The CyberSecurity NonProfit (CSNP) exists to democratize
cybersecurity knowledge and make it accessible to everyone, regardless
of their background, resources, or technical expertise.
We believe that security should not be a privilege but a right, and our
mission is to empower individuals, families, businesses, and communities
with the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves in the digital
world.
Through free education, community building, and practical resources, we
aim to create a more secure digital future for all.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone has access to the cybersecurity
knowledge they need to participate safely and confidently in the
digital society.
Our vision is a global network of local chapters empowering communities
with practical security skills, creating a grassroots movement for digital
safety and privacy.
By making security accessible, understandable, and actionable, we strive
to reduce the security knowledge gap and build a more equitable and secure
digital future.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide our work
Accessibility
We believe cybersecurity knowledge should be available to everyone, regardless of background or resources.
Community
We foster supportive communities where people can learn, share knowledge, and grow together.
Education
We create practical, actionable learning resources that empower people to implement better security.
Integrity
We maintain the highest ethical standards in all our operations and educational content.
Cybersecurity is a Right, Not a Privilege
No one should be left unprotected because they can't afford it
Our Sustainability Model
We've built our model to ensure that resource constraints never leave individuals, families, or organizations unprotected. When we do charge, we charge at cost — and revenue from those who can pay enables free access for those who can't.
- Free core protection for individuals
- Generous free allocation for nonprofits and schools
- Cost-recovery pricing for SMBs
- Enterprise revenue funds the mission
We operate on a sustainability model — not profit maximization. Revenue beyond operating costs goes directly back into expanding free access and building new protective tools.
