An update on progress towards our urgent 2020 fundraising target. Long term partner in fighting cybercrime Trend Micro has very generously committed $600,000 to support Shadowserver’s public benefit services ($200,000 per year for three years). Thank you very much Trend!

As planned, we have spent all of April talking to potential hosting and colocation providers about providing space for our new Shadowserver data center, including following up with everyone who had already contacted us to offer assistance. We have completed the review of all of our options and have signed a contract for a new home for our Data Center.

This blog is the first in a series in which we will take a look at different world regions in order to demonstrate what taking a more holistic view of our data can reveal - starting with the African continent. The derived insight helps us better drive our outreach activities and hopefully allows National CSIRTs in the region, as well as numerous other authorities/partners and private enterprises, to enhance their incident response coordination and share information from our public benefit victim remediation network reports with local communities in a more effective manner.

Shadowserver urgently needs to move our current data center by August 2020. We are blogging our data center requirements for hosting and colocation providers, or other companies who might be able to help provide a new home for our public benefit services for the global Internet. Please reach out and get in touch if you can help.

The original deadline for Shadowserver to move our data center has been extended from May 26th to August 31st 2020, due to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic and Silicon Valley 'Shelter in Place' lockdowns. This extension provides us with some much needed additional time to continue raising funding for our 2020 operations, such as the recently received donation from cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX.
