The APAC Cybersecurity Fund is an initiative by The Asia Foundation, supported by Google.org, Google’s philanthropic arm, designed to build inclusive and sustainable cybersecurity ecosystems across the Asia-Pacific. Through cyber hygiene training, policy research, and stakeholder engagement, the program helps micro and small businesses, nonprofits, and social enterprises strengthen their cyber resilience.
It also invests in long-term capacity by establishing more than 20 university-based cyber clinics to expand outreach and develop the region’s cybersecurity workforce. The initiative spans across 13 countries including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The program focuses on empowering digitally vulnerable communities with practical, locally relevant cybersecurity knowledge and skills, promoting digital inclusion and building lasting digital resilience for small businesses and individuals.
