You are an activist, rights defender, or journalist. You use a mobile device. And you work in sometimes risky situations in your country.

This guide will help you implement mobile security practices in your work. It will help you assess the particular risks that face you and then assist you in developing a plan to mitigate those risks.

We have previously published a Mobile Risk Primer that describes general security vulnerabilities associated with mobile technology and communication. Read it!

Throughout this guide, we'll also highlight the fictitious case of Asima, a blogger and activist in Egypt. Examples of how Asima might complete the assessment worksheet and create a security plan for her work are highlighted in this guide.
