Increasingly, sophisticated spyware is used to target activists, journalist and human rights defenders around the globe. What happens from that first encounter with a malicious link or suspicious code? There are organizations and helplines which can assist in regaining control and security, and there are those who can help analyze where the code came from, archive it… and then there are those who publish comprehensive analytical reports, and those who hold the companies and vendors behind the technology accountable.

This roundtable session aims to bring together some of the experts behind this work, and really bring RightsCon attendees a closer look at the reporting chain, and how they can contribute. From the frontlines to the world’s capitals – we will look at what is available to civil society and its many actors in holding businesses and governments accountable for their actions.
