Entrust will support The Cyber Helpline’s mission to help people understand, contain, and recover from cyber incidents by funding more than 3,200 hours of specialist support, which will provide assistance for approximately 1,000 individuals across the US and UK. Entrust will also connect its identity and cybersecurity experts with The Cyber Helpline specialists through volunteer opportunities, including mentoring and knowledge-sharing initiatives, helping to expand the organization’s services for cybercrime victims. Fighting fraud and cybercrime is central to Entrust’s mission, and the company believes that when people are impacted, they should have access to the expert support they need to recover.
Bad actors continue to target individuals through online fraud, scams, identity theft, and other forms of cybercrime. Each year, one in seven adults and one in five young people are affected by cybercrime, yet 98% of those who report cybercrime receive no meaningful support or route to justice, according to The Cyber Helpline.
“The Cyber Helpline was created because people experiencing cybercrime, fraud, and online harm need more than information or signposting. They need practical help from people who understand both the technology and the human impact of what has happened,” said Rory Innes, CEO and Founder of The Cyber Helpline. “Entrust understands better than most the importance of protecting identities and building digital trust, which makes them a natural partner. Their support will help us put specialist cybersecurity expertise directly into the hands of more victims, helping people understand what has happened, take action, and regain control.”
“Behind every cybercrime statistic is a person whose life has been disrupted,” said Tony Ball, CEO at Entrust. “We’re proud to partner with The Cyber Helpline to help more people get the expert support they need to recover and move forward with confidence.”
