CDR Link is guided by the community-minded, open source, sustainability-focused ethic of CDR's programmatic work. These principles include:
Center for Digital Resilience is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that partners with communities around the world to provide sustainable, strategic approaches to long-term digital wellness. We see security as a collective community endeavour rather than solely an individual or organisational one. We work with regional and thematic communities of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) around the world to improve their collective understanding of the threats they face and how to mitigate them. We aim to not only ensure timely and effective responses for our communities, but to reduce their need for emergency response in the first place. The impact of our work is to protect civil society and empower activists to regain civic space.
We work alongside partners and a network of trusted digital security responders to provide security assessments, preventative wellness plans, trainings, incident response, alerts about crucial threats, and ongoing support. We currently partner with communities in the Middle East, North America, Southeast Asia, and East Africa.
Guardian Project (guardianproject.info) creates easy to use secure apps, open-source software libraries, and customized solutions that can be used around the world by any person looking to protect their communications and personal data from unjust intrusion, interception and monitoring.
