The Internet Society is a global charitable organization focused on achieving an open, secure Internet that is accessible to all, built on more than thirty years of work in the field. Based in Reston, Virginia, it mobilizes a community of over 100,000 like-minded people and partners to advance Internet access and protection as essential resources. It traces its origins to the people who helped build the Internet, and its activities reflect that legacy in supporting governance, policy, and infrastructure related to the network. The organization engages a broad range of stakeholders, including policymakers, technologists, journalists, and advocates, to advance digital rights and Internet governance through regional programs and events. A notable recent development is the organization of the Africa Cybersecurity (Encryption) Advocacy Workshop in Windhoek, Namibia, in September 2025, held alongside the Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa.
