Guides: Security in a Box

If you’re new to digital security, the Tactics Guides cover the basic principles, including advice on how to use social networking platforms and mobile phones more safely. The Tool Guides offer step-by-step instructions to help you install and use the most essential digital security software and services. The Community Guides focus on specific groups of people — sometimes in specific regions — who face severe digital threats. They include tailored advice on tools and tactics that are relevant to the needs of these particular groups. Security in-a-Box is jointly developed by Front Line Defenders and Tactical Technology Collective, along with a global network of thousands of activists, trainers, and digital security experts.
