Security Without Silos 26 Workshop

Security Without Silos: Bridging Physical and Cyber Defense for Civil Society workshop

Abstract

Civil society organizations face threats that don’t respect the boundary between physical and digital security - doxxing enables stalking, device confiscation enables account compromise, and a clinic blockade gets livestreamed and coordinated online - yet most organizations still manage these domains in separate silos. This hands-on tabletop workshop brings together practitioners from physical security, digital security, and the NGO sector to work through real-world scenarios where cyber and physical risks intersect, giving participants practice in cross-domain incident response and a shared framework and vocabulary for integrated security. The session is part of a broader initiative led by the Digital Security Collective focused on building integrated security practice across civil society.
