Cybersecurity for NGOs

Cybersecurity for NGOs: Attack Prevention and Threat Response, 1st Edition, written by Stephane Duguin and published by John Wiley & Sons P&T, establishes technical guidance for non-profit operational defense. The volume focuses on practical methods designed to assist civil society organizations engaged in humanitarian relief, human rights advocacy, and democracy protection operations.

The text evaluates how cyberattacks converge with hostile disinformation campaigns to target non-governmental entities. Recognizing the financial and technical constraints of these institutions, the author outlines actionable recommendations to strengthen threat response procedures, protect institutional assets, and sustain ongoing operations despite active digital risks.

Drawing on empirical evidence from Protect.ngo, the book incorporates analytical data collected through the Tracer platform alongside operational observations from over 600 non-governmental organizations participating in the Builders volunteer program. This grounded analysis provides actionable guidance for civil society managers, technical practitioners, and academic researchers focused on organizational safety.
