Cluster Cybersec

What Cluster Cybersec does

Cyber Cluster Global Alliance (legally a "federación internacional sin fines de lucro") is an international non-profit federation founded in 2017 and headquartered in San José, Costa Rica. It connects national clusters, multilateral international cooperation bodies, academic institutions, government entities, and private-sector companies to strengthen the digital and technological ecosystem across Latin America and the Caribbean. The federation operates under a federated governance model in which member clusters retain local autonomy while aligning with a shared regional strategic agenda covering cybersecurity, digital trust, innovation, and talent development.

The portfolio is built around three layers: the federation brand itself, two experiential platforms (Cybersec Summit, a regional conference platform at cybersec-summit.com, and Cybersec Challenge, a competitive cybersecurity talent platform at cybersecchallenge.cybersec.cr), and active national clusters in Costa Rica and Dominican Republic. Underlying technology is not disclosed in the source material; the offering is coordination- and event-driven rather than software-product-driven, and no proprietary models, APIs, SDKs, or integrations are listed.

The business model is a non-profit, membership-based federation ("hágase miembro"). Revenue is described as deriving from membership contributions, event participation, and regional initiative funding, with no commercial pricing disclosed. The organization has no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or public shareholders, and no funding rounds, headcount, executive team, or financial figures have been made available.

Emerging players

• APWG (Anti-Phishing Working Group): An international non-profit coalition focused on cybercrime and electronic crime prevention through data exchange and research. Comparable as a non-profit international coalition operating in the cybersecurity domain, though with a more specialized threat-focused mandate.
• Cybersecurity Forum Initiative (CSFI): A US-based non-profit forum working on cybersecurity policy, collaboration, and capability-building across government, academia, and industry. Comparable as a non-profit federation advancing cybersecurity ecosystem development, though at a smaller and more US-centric scale.

Direct peers

• Cybersecurity Coalition: An industry-led coalition focused on cybersecurity policy and ecosystem development in Europe. Comparable as a multi-stakeholder non-profit advocacy and capacity-building entity in the cyber domain, with a similar horizontal-segment stakeholder approach.
• Israel Cyber Cluster (CyberSpark): A Beersheba-based non-profit cyber innovation cluster connecting industry, academia, and government. Comparable as a multi-stakeholder national cyber cluster model with active events and talent-development programs, similar in structure to a Cyber Cluster Global Alliance member node.
• ECSO (European Cyber Security Organisation): A European federation connecting public and private cybersecurity stakeholders to stimulate the regional cyber ecosystem. Closely analogous in structure and mission to Cyber Cluster Global Alliance, but operating in Europe rather than LATAM/Caribbean.
• Global Cyber Alliance: An international non-profit cross-sector coalition focused on eradicating cyber risk and building a trustworthy digital ecosystem. Directly comparable as a mission-aligned, multi-stakeholder (industry, government, law enforcement) cybersecurity organization operating internationally.

Regional players

• Canadian Cyber Threat Exchange (CCTX): A Canadian non-profit cyber threat sharing and collaboration hub connecting industry, academia, and government. Comparable as a regional cyber-cluster model serving a single national ecosystem, similar in size and ambition to the Costa Rica or Dominican Republic cluster nodes.
• Cyber Wales: A Welsh cyber industry cluster that brings together academia, government, and industry to grow the regional cyber ecosystem. Comparable as a national-level cyber cluster model that sits within a broader federated vision, analogous to Cyber Cluster Global Alliance's national cluster members.

Broad incumbents

• FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams): A globally recognized association of computer security incident response teams and cybersecurity practitioners. Comparable as a long-standing international membership-based cybersecurity body, though broader in scope and far more established than Cyber Cluster Global Alliance.
• OAS CICTE (Inter-American Committee against Terrorism): The OAS committee that supports member states in strengthening cybersecurity capacities across the Americas. Comparable as a multilateral-driven cybersecurity coordination body in the same geographic region, though backed by sovereign-state authority rather than a private federation.
