Sessions
The session will present the Arabic version of the National Democratic Institute’s Cybersecurity Handbook for Civil Society Organizations, a one-stop guide that teaches critical technical concepts while simultaneously helping users construct a comprehensive organizational security plan. In creating the Handbook, NDI consulted with peers and colleagues in this space to identify key resources for each topic area and existing gaps not covered in other guides. The final product compiles and adapts existing resources and combines them with fresh new content to provide organizations with the building blocks to develop their own basic digital security plans.
