NAKSH FOUNDATION PRESENTS
2 – 9 February 2027
The CyberShield Summit 2027, edition 1.0
Creating an Accessible, Safe, and Inclusive Internet for All.
Five communities. A shared digital future. Virtual sessions from 2 February, culminating in Safer Internet Day on 9 February 2027.
Our shared purpose
An internet that works for everyone
The CyberShield Summit 2027 brings researchers, policymakers, educators, industry and civil society into a shared conversation about the internet people actually experience. Safety, accessibility and inclusion belong together: being connected is only the beginning.
Accessible by design
Look beyond connectivity to the ways language, disability, age and digital confidence shape access. Explore services and learning experiences that more people can use.
Safe in everyday life
Connect online safety with real experiences: harassment, scams, privacy risks and the protection of personal and organizational information.
Inclusive in participation
Bring community experiences into research and policy conversations, so that digital opportunities are not limited by gender, age or social circumstances.
ROOTED IN REAL COMMUNITIES
The conversations begin
long before the summit.
From classrooms to community halls, Naksh Foundation’s work connects digital safety with everyday life. The summit carries those experiences into research, policy and collective action.
