Besides, in the interview, we also found the #MsianNGO don't see digital security as a priority, compare to physical security.

[Security Matters @sec_matters]

Findings (weakness): Lack of proper digital and physical safety training due to the lack of resources - funding and experts that able to provide long term support. [cont.]

[Security Matters @sec_matters]

Findings (strength): Most of the #MsianNGO already exposed to digital media to a certain extent - the digital literacy is considerably high, and mostly are able to devote time to self-learning
