Building digital resilience: reflections from our new director of digital and information security

Threats against those challenging unaccountable power are on the rise - with digital attacks becoming more sophisticated, increasingly pervasive, and harder to detect.

At the same time, the internet freedom community is under strain. Drastic funding cuts, widespread burnout, and a surge in demand for digital and information security support have made it a difficult year for many security providers, despite the existence of a robust digital protection ecosystem.
