Cybersecurity and Human Rights
This event will offer an opportunity to discuss the applicability of the International Human Rights Framework in cyberspace. It will discuss the impact of digitalisation on a variety of rights, notably the right to freedom of expression and information, the right to association and assembly and the right to privacy – what have been done for their protection and why their applicability in cyberspace remains problematic. The session will also cover censorship, surveillance and the chilling effect as common breaches to human rights. The related exercises will include real-life examples emphasising the security impact these phenomena have on individuals and communities. The second part will focus on cybersecurity as a political concept and the impact that different definitions exercise on human rights. The conclusion will touch upon the state of Internet Governance, paying attention to the importance of a multistakeholder environment, and the current cybersecurity-related processes under the UN auspices.

Webinar | The cybersecurity vulnerabilities of people in Sub-Saharan Africa
This webinar explores the cybersecurity vulnerabilities of people in SSA and makes recommendations for people and policymakers that enable frugal but effective individual cybersecurity practices.
Sub-Saharan Africa is a place where more than a billion strong, young, and dynamic people live. It is a space where most people have some knowledge of the new technologies and the cyberspace that they enable. They know how to use them to connect to friends and family, have fun, study, work, and look for opportunities. The cyber landscape of sub-Saharan Africa is still in its infancy, with an infrastructure still in the process of being developed, unclear cybersecurity strategies, poor cybersecurity regulations and standards, poor cybersecurity awareness and education, and questionable cybersecurity mindsets. These are vulnerabilities at the level of a country or a region. They suggest that individual computer and internet users are particularly exposed to cyber threats and risks. However, it is not specifically clear how exposed they are and the impact of that exposure on themselves and the rest of society. This webinar aims to identify the main vulnerabilities in the device (hardware, software, and platforms) and Internet usage (behaviour and practices) of individuals in SSA. Vulnerability in this situation stems from the exposure of individuals’ personal (Home and mobile), professional (Office + School), and sociocultural (Family, friends, and societies) critical domains to prying eyes. The aim is to describe, explain and suggest remedies to main vulnerabilities.
