The Digital Security Clinic is run by the staff of Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline, a free-of-charge resource for civil society around the world. We offer real-time, direct technical assistance and advice to activists, independent media, and civil society organizations. You can find out more about the Helpline at https://www.accessnow.org/help
The Helpline will be holding open drop-in hours in the Access Now Lounge on the second floor from 1:30pm to 5pm on Wednesday and Friday, and from 9am to 1:30pm on Thursday. You can also arrange for a one-on-one appointment with a Helpline staff member throughout the conference by emailing help@accessnow.org.
The staff identify problems and help attendees implement practices that can protect them from threats. During an average visit, Clinic technologists:
1// Assess risks and needs
2// Analyze current practices
3// Troubleshoot problems
4// Provide tools and training to address emergent issues
5// Initiate cases with Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline for any issues not resolved on the spot
6// Refer to specialists where the Helpline is unable to assist
