The National Cybersecurity Alliance, our board member companies, federal partners and non-profit collaborators have worked swiftly to provide organizations and individuals with relevant and helpful information to address security and privacy concerns surrounding the global COVID-19 outbreak.

To help individuals and organizations find resources they can use and share, we have launched the COVID-19 Security Resource Library. This library features free and updated information on current scams, cyber threats, remote working, disaster relief, and more. We will work diligently to update this page regularly as resources become available.
