Project Upskill: Digital Security for High-Risk Communities
summary
Panel lays out concrete findings and fixes: about two thirds of international NGOs say they lack confidence and underspend on cyber while three quarters report rising threats; NetHope members number 65 and operate in 190 countries serving 1.6 billion people and 750,000 staff and volunteers. Actionable outputs include the Project Upskill hygiene guides, donated tools like YubiKey and Authenticate Silo, a collective Global Humanitarian ISAC, and clear fixes — target rich, cyber poor organizations need Secure by Design, shared responsibility matrices, and funded managed services.
