CyberPeace Institute, an independent NGO, was founded in Geneva to contribute to efforts towards de-escalating conflicts and promoting peace and stability in cyberspace. The Institute will assist the most vulnerable victims (civilian and business infrastructures) of cyberattacks to recover and increase resilience, facilitate the collective analysis, research and investigation of cyber-attacks (including assessing the harm), and promote positive and responsible behaviour in cyberspace, in particular with regards to adherence to international laws and rules. The initial funding for the Institute is provided by Mastercard, Microsoft and the Hewlett Foundation. St
