Haki Defenders Foundation (HDF) hosted a team from the Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA), led by Mr. Brian Byaruhanga. The visit focused on strengthening digital security measures for NGOs, equipping HDF staff with essential skills to safeguard sensitive information and enhance secure communication.
During the session, the CIPESA team provided in-depth training on:
Secure Communication Systems: Best practices for encrypting communications and protecting organizational data.
Firewalls and Cyber Threat Mitigation: Understanding and implementing firewalls to block unauthorized access.
Data Protection Strategies: How to securely store and manage sensitive information to prevent breaches.
The training was interactive, allowing HDF staff to engage in discussions and hands-on demonstrations on digital safety. Given the nature of HDF’s work in human rights advocacy, implementing robust cybersecurity measures is crucial in ensuring HDF’s security and beneficiary data.
CIPESA’s visit reinforced HDF’s commitment to digital resilience, aligning with broader efforts to create a safer digital space for civil society organizations. HDF appreciates CIPESA’s continued support in strengthening digital rights and security across the region.
