Digital Security Program - Human Before Technology
As part of the Digital Security Program, we believe in the importance of designing digital and technological systems that are human-centred, aligning with individual needs while ensuring a safe and efficient user experience. Recognizing that human behaviour is often a key factor in digital security incidents, the program focuses on fostering a culture of digital awareness.
Diverse Challenges – Tailored Solutions
In recent years, numerous cyberattacks targeting human rights organisations in countries such as Egypt, Morocco, and Bahrain have highlighted that the cybersecurity challenges faced by civil society and human rights organisations are vastly different from those encountered by commercial entities. Unfortunately, the majority of digital safety practices today are tailored to profit-driven companies, focusing on risk assessment and mitigation solely to secure profits. These approaches often neglect considerations for the individuals involved or the critical missions of non-profit organisations working to protect and promote human rights.
