Bratislava<\/b> – Global nonprofit Internews has partnered with cybersecurity company ESET to distribute antivirus software to civil society and at-risk groups worldwide. The pilot project will protect more than 1000 devices, reaching a network of journalists, human rights groups, and members of civil society who are highly vulnerable to digital threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese licenses will fill a critical gap among the most at-risk communities around the globe,\u201d said Megan DeBlois, Information Security Advisor at Internews. \u201cThe consequences of online attacks against human rights defenders can be life altering \u2014 leading to silencing, arrests, or worse. We\u2019re grateful to partner with ESET for helping us provide stronger protections to human rights defenders at such a vital time for information provision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Internews supports media organizations and other information providers globally with resources, training, and funding so they can deliver trustworthy and accurate information to local communities. This includes providing direct technological support to those working in some of the most restrictive regimes worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be working with Internews to help better protect those on the front lines, the people providing information at this time of crisis,\u201d said Alexis Dorais-Joncas, Security Intelligence Team Lead at ESET. \u201cFirst responders in human rights communities often operate with very limited resources while they face some of the most advanced and dedicated threat actors. It\u2019s meaningful to all of us at ESET to be able to support these communities with high-quality tools and protections that might not be available to them otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis pilot project with ESET enables beneficiaries to access antivirus tools which are otherwise prohibitively expensive, limited to free-tier services, in short supply for NGO licenses, and\/or reliant on advertising models,\u201d said Jon Camfield, director of Global Technology Strategy at Internews. \u201cWhile antivirus is not a cure-all or appropriate for all threat models, it is a critical tool for reducing risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Internews\/ESET partnership is intended to strengthen connections between civil society and the private sector, enabling a greater exchange of ideas and needs from end users to tech developers. This connection is a core principle of Internews\u2019 global technology efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIdentifying and flagging malign actions helps improve security for everyone, not just the individual or group targeted,\u201d said DeBlois. \u201cAs companies like ESET have greater visibility into the offensive tactics being deployed against civil society, they\u2019re even better equipped to design effective defensive strategies to protect all users from these advanced threat actors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The initiative comes as cyberattacks are on the rise as more and more people move to operating online in response to the COVID-19 situation, and forms part of Internews\u2019 broader work in ensuring vital information can reach all sectors of society at this crucial time. <\/span><\/p><\/div>
