General Digital Security Guides#

The main resources on digital security are:

• Surveillance Self-Defense by EFF is the main reference, it is available in 11 languages and well maintained.
• Security Planner by Consumer Reports is an easy to use platform to get practical recommendations
• Security In a Box is a very good resource, but not maintained anymore and many guides and articles are now outdated.
• In French, le Guide d’autodéfense numérique is a good in-depth manual (that may not fit for people looking for quick answers)
