About this Event
Rights and Security International is proud to present this free webinar series for NGOs and journalists on digital security and online threat modelling. This webinar will help you to identify major risks to your personal security online and on your devices, and will help you strengthen your digital safety.
The first event of this free webinar series will take place on 18th May 2021, at 3.30 pm BST for organisations based in Northern Ireland.
The second event of this free webinar series will take place on 3rd June 2021, at 9 am BST for organisations based in East Africa, Central & South East Asia.
Both events will last for 60 minutes, and be followed by an optional 30-minute roundtable on your digital security concerns.
"Digital Security for NGOs & Journalists - Understanding the Threat" will explain how to identify risks to your personal digital security and how to start reducing those risks. We will cover:
- Mapping the security risks (making a threat model)
- Identifying the data you want to protect
- Understanding how hostile actors could get your private information
- Basic protection tools such as encryption, checking for suspicious logins, two-factor authentication, Tor and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
- Understanding other basic ways to stay safe
These trainings are designed for beginners -- you do not need any special tech knowledge in advance.
