Summary

Cloudflare's Project Galileo, launched 12 years ago, aims to protect civil society organizations from cyberattacks by providing free cybersecurity services to over 3,400 websites across 120 countries, including those of journalists and human rights defenders. Celebrating its anniversary, Cloudflare released its first comprehensive report on cyberattacks against civil society, highlighting that these groups are targeted more frequently and intensely than other internet users, particularly during critical moments like publishing investigative reports. The report reveals that DDoS attacks are the most common threat and that civil society organizations face higher rates of phishing and website vulnerability exploitation. Cloudflare also introduced new partners focused on supporting journalists and expanded its global reach to safeguard more organizations outside North America and Europe. The annual report and accompanying case studies are intended to serve as resources for understanding and responding to cyber threats, while Cloudflare continues to pursue initiatives to enhance protections for at-risk groups worldwide.
