About Us

SecureTheVillage is a highly motivated team of cybersecurity and privacy leaders making a difference.

Smaller business owners and executives. Nonprofit directors. IT service providers / MSPs. Information security management professionals. Cyber-attorneys. Cyber-risk managers. Cyber-educators and students. Law enforcement.

And anyone else who cares.

We work together. We learn together. We help each other. And we help our neighbors.

Vision:

Make Los Angeles the cyber-safest metropolitan region in the United States for smaller businesses, nonprofits, families and individuals.

Mission:

We are on a mission to secure 1 million people by 12/31/2027.

SecureTheVillage is a force multiplier, a catalyst, and a resource. We make 1 + 1 = 1000.

The current information security model - where every business takes care of its own information security - doesn’t work for smaller businesses, for smaller nonprofits, and for individuals and families.

Our unique team-based community model does. It offers a new transformative approach to cybersecurity that uniquely reflects their realities and opportunities.

We view our work as “securing the last mile” … enlisting everyone to protect themselves, their organizations, their families: at home, at work, and everywhere in between. SecureTheVillage provides education, support, and advocacy. Whether it’s an IT service provider with 100 clients or it’s a son concerned that his mother might be scammed, we’re here - together - making sure everyone has the knowledge, skills, and commitment needed to do their part in protecting themselves and others.

SecureTheVillage is one team on a team of teams, a proud member of Nonprofit Cyber, a 40-member coalition of cybersecurity nonprofits working collaboratively on tangible results. Working locally in the Los Angeles metropolitan region, we’re actively playing our part in the larger challenge of building a cybersecure global village.

Our Role

We work in hard problem areas

  • IT service providers, MSPs, and in-house IT who must ensure security of the ever-more complex digital infrastructure and who, more than ever, must have a “seat at the table” to help owners and executives make reasonable cybersecurity risk decisions. The business implications of cybersecurity beyond the information technology considerations.

  • Small business and nonprofit business owners and executives who must reasonably manage their information risk and the trauma caused by inevitable cyber-disruptions in the face of increased cyber risk, evolving cyber threats, ever-present vulnerabilities, and escalating legal requirements.

  • Village “residents,” the individuals and families who must secure their financial, health, and other identities; securely maintain their increasingly digital world; manage their privacy; protect their parents, and teach their children sound cybersecurity habits.
