Umbrella provides step-by-step advice to help you and your team operate safely in a hostile environment. Whether you are sending sensitive emails, attending a protest or dealing with a kidnapping, Umbrella is your one stop shop for the latest security tools and information.

Lessons help you learn about a topic, checklists help you follow through. Keep track of your progress in the dashboard. Report incidents with forms. Feeds update you with threat alerts from trusted sources like the UN, ReliefWeb, Global Disaster and Alert Coordination System and Centres for Disease Control.

Your data is encrypted on your device, so we don't have access to it. Add extra security with a password. In an emergency, disguise Umbrella or integrate it with Ripple, an app by the Guardian Project that you can download separately to hide it with a single swipe.
Umbrella has been created with input from the NGO, media, humanitarian aid and open source technology communities.

We can't wait to hear your feedback, so send suggestions to feedback@secfirst.org.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★Good idea and well recommended but doa on my galaxy s7 - just a red screen with an umbrella even with uninstall and reinstall. Willing to try a new release when it comes out.
1 ★This app makes way too many assumptions to be useful. Maybe it helps somebody but following some advice here without explicitly knowing those assumptions will get people hurt. Security still isn't easy.
1 ★Security made easy?? Surely that is a joke! If you have an hour or so to spare every time you want to sort out your security and you don't have a life.. This heap of crap is for you
5 ★So much information that is useful for aid workers and just good to know in general. I love it, thanks!
5 ★An app with these intentions and excellent implementation is a welcome sight in today's world where our data's security is sold to the highest bidder or taken from dark organisations. I'm delighted to see it and hope it stays honest and true to it's goal over time.
5 ★THE go-to app for both professionals and beginners travelling into areas of instability/insecurity. The checklist at the end of each section consolidates the beginner's new knowledge and reaffirms the pro's procedures, as complacency has no place in the security environment. Constantly fed with industry best practice and real-time vital information for those in-situ.
5 ★Have it if your security personal and social is conpromised or you wish to reduce the risk. 5 out of 5!
5 ★A great app that lets good people around the world do what they do better. Get it!
5 ★Extremely useful resource for those who need tips on securing their communications and person.
5 ★Not sure about the couple negative reviews, but I will say that some of the applications they are advocating the NSA have admitted are a 'problem' for them in regards to the usage of them. ie; truecrypt(v 7.1a) But also in my opinion, and as the developers have stated, this was developed towards a specific group/work in mind and should be used as a guide to work from. Not a Manuel for complete security practices.
5 ★So far so good!
