The Digital Frontier Foundation (DFF) is a globally-focused, nonprofit
organization
dedicated to promoting cyber safety, digital literacy, and justice in the online world. We believe
that cybersecurity is a basic right, not a privilege—and our mission is to ensure that individuals
and communities everywhere have the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay safe and thrive
in the digital age.
Founded by Mrityunjay Singh, a passionate cybersecurity advocate and digital
rights visionary,
the Digital Frontier Foundation was born out of a need to bridge the gap between technological
advancement and public awareness. After witnessing the emotional and financial devastation
cybercrimes can inflict on individuals and families, Mrityunjay Singh envisioned a platform that not
only spreads awareness but also takes action—offering real help to victims and building a safer
digital environment for all.
Under his leadership, the Foundation has grown into a vibrant network of expert volunteers,
ethical hackers, educators, legal advisors, and tech innovators. Together, we provide practical
cyber education, assist victims of online crimes, collaborate with law enforcement agencies, and
create powerful digital solutions aimed at protecting vulnerable users.
Our work spans multiple fronts:
- Victim Assistance – Guiding individuals through the recovery process and connecting them
with
authorities.
- Cyber Awareness Campaigns – Educating the public on current cyber threats, scams, and
prevention
techniques.
- Skill Development – Offering online courses and training to improve digital literacy and
promote
responsible online behavior.
- Community Engagement – Empowering people at all levels, from students to senior citizens,
to
become "Cyber Smart."
At the core of everything we do is the belief that no one should feel alone or helpless in the face
of digital threats. The internet should be a place of opportunity, not fear—and the Digital Frontier
Foundation is here to make that vision a reality.
To create a digitally empowered world where every individual is safe, informed, and resilient against cyber threats.
