Hillsborough partners with Tampa nonprofit to defend against cyberattacks

The Hillsborough County Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to defend its communities against foreign threats, such as cyberattacks, with help from a Tampa-based nonprofit. 

The resolution expresses the county’s commitment to working with Alliance for Global Security, to “help ensure the safety, security, and democratic integrity of Hillsborough County in an increasingly complex global environment.”

In a separate vote, the board unanimously approved a $25,000 seed investment in the AGS Frontiers Forum, an international conference coming to Tampa in April 2026 that will address issues of homeland and national security, resilience and readiness.
