New Partnership with Entrust to Reach More Victims of Cybercrime and Fraud
Entrust will support The Cyber Helpline’s mission to help victims recover from cybercrime and online fraud.
The partnership is expected to help more than 1,000 people across the US and UK.
Together, Entrust and The Cyber Helpline are combining their cybersecurity expertise and community action to help victims.
Entrust, a global leader in identity-centric security solutions, today announced its partnership with The Cyber Helpline. Entrust will support our 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 our specialists through volunteer opportunities, including mentoring and knowledge-sharing initiatives, helping to expand our charity’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.
“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. 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.”
Rory Innes, CEO and Founder of The Cyber Helpline
“Behind every cybercrime statistic is a person whose life has been disrupted. 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.”
Tony Ball, CEO at Entrust
