Building a Digital Security Exchange – Medium

If we want to truly secure civil society from digital attacks and empower communities in their to fight to protect their rights, we’ve got to recognize that digital security is largely a human problem, not a technical one. Taking cues from the experiences of the deeply knowledgeable global digital security training community, the Digital Security Exchange will seek to make it easier for trainers and experts to connect directly to the communities in the U.S. — sharing expertise, documentation, and best practices — in order to increase capacity and security across the board.

ONLINE HARASSMENT, DIGITAL ABUSE, AND CYBERSTALKING IN AMERICA

The internet and digital tools play an increasingly central role in how Americans engage with their communities: How they find and share information; how they connect with their friends, family, and professional networks; how they entertain themselves; how they seek answers to sensitive questions; how they learn about—and access— the world around them. The internet is built on the ideal of the free flow of information, but it is also built on the ideal of free-flowing discourse.

Digital Security in Context: Learning how human rights defenders adopt digital security practices | Security in Context

This study looks at the direct experiences of human rights defenders both in the training room and afterwards. It was initially conceived as an opportunity to examine what key factors influence or improve the uptake of digital security practices by human rights defenders in order to increase the long-term effectiveness of trainings. This emerged from a broad awareness within the training community that time and again tool usage and digital security practices by participants either dropped off some months after a training or were not successfully integrated into their working practices to begin with. Although many theories around the reasons for this existed, closer examination of why was required.
