🎂 Today marks a milestone — 10 years of the Global Cyber Alliance! 🎉

Since September 16, 2015, GCA has been working with governments, nonprofits, and businesses around the world to take on systemic cyber risks that no single organization can solve alone. Together, we’ve built practical solutions, forged global partnerships, and helped protect millions from the growing tide of cyber threats.

As we step into our second decade, we’re also thrilled to welcome Brian Cute as Interim CEO as original CEO Philip Reitinger retires.

“Cyber threats are escalating in speed, scale, and sophistication, and the world cannot afford complacency,” said Cute. “GCA has shown what’s possible when we act together. The next chapter is about urgent, global collaboration — building resilience, closing the gaps criminals exploit, and making the Internet safer for all.”

Thank you to our partners, donors, and communities who have worked so hard to make our digital lives more secure. Here’s to 10 years of impact — and to the work still ahead. 💪🌍

Philip Reitinger has announced his retirement as President and CEO of the Global Cyber Alliance effective September 15, 2025.

Chief Operating Officer Brian Cute will act as Interim CEO. Cute has served as GCA’s COO since 2022 and brings more than 25 years of experience in Internet policy, technology, and nonprofit leadership.

GCA’s founding CEO, Reitinger’s extraordinary skill and experience have built the organization into the global powerhouse it is today. His vision guided GCA through multiple high-impact initiatives including improving email security by advocating for #DMARC, launching Quad9 DNS to block malicious websites for everyday Internet users, developing five versions of the GCA #Cybersecurity Toolkits, tackling systemic Internet integrity problems like unwanted traffic, domain name abuse, and routing security (Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS), and, most recently, leading the Common Good Cyber charge to sustainably fund cybersecurity-focused nonprofits.

"I am immensely proud of the work we’ve done together over the last ten years. It has been an honor," said Reitinger. Read his full statement, along with statements from Brian Cute and GCA Board Chair William Pelgrin here:

Today we are very proud to announce the new Internet Pollution Index, a new tracker that visualizes global cyber threat activity in real time, helping network operators, policymakers identify and mitigate malicious Internet behavior.

"After seeing what #MANRS has done for improving #RoutingSecurity, I am optimistic that we can find some common agreed norms for how you find and stop this nonsense in your network before it attacks somebody else, before it trashes the reputation of your IP addresses, and before we have a mess in the Internet."

That was Leslie Daigle's final message to the RIPE NCC community at #RIPE90, after presenting the #InternetPollutionIndex and GCA's work around the #AIDE project.
