CISA and Partners Release Guidance for Civil Society Organizations on Mitigating Cyber Threats with Limited Resources

[Ken Herman]

I also thank Julf for sharing this. I had not seen it before, but as a I work in the cybersecurity field the message resonates with me. 

 

Kathy, as you point out, mitigating risk begins with establishing policies that protect, rather than expose. 

 

Maybe we can also think about going beyond, to advocate for monitoring adherence to policy, followed by supporting our community to become aware of the policies and ways to query vendor (registrars?) regarding these policies, so covering all phases (establishment, adherence and awareness) of the policy lifecycle.

Tx Julf.  Powerful what is being pointed out:

"Civil society, comprised of organizations and individuals—such as nonprofit, advocacy, cultural, faith-based, academic, think tanks, journalist, dissident, and diaspora organizations, communities involved in defending human rights and advancing democracy—are considered high-risk communities. Often these organizations and their employees are targeted by state-sponsored threat actors who seek to undermine democratic values and interests." 

In RDDS/WHOIS, Proxy/Privacy, and intellectual property/UDRP/URS discussions, we have shared the same idea over many years of policy work. Our communities and groups need to be protected, not exposed, by ICANN policies.

Best, Kathy
