DIGITAL SECURITY Research Lab

InterSecLab is a digital security laboratory specializing in digital forensics and research, focused on political and targeted digital surveillance carried out by states against activists, human rights defenders and social movements. Founded by digital security experts, InterSecLab is committed to defending human rights and promoting digital autonomy for groups and individuals targeted by surveillance. The lab combines device forensics with active research into state and corporate surveillance.

Its mission is to stimulate and strengthen digital autonomy and protection by confronting surveillance directed at human rights defenders, activists, leaders and investigative journalists. Among its objectives, it aims to collaborate in the production of knowledge and access to information about the opaque ecosystem of surveillance. It aims (otherwise) to offer the field of Internet Freedom easier access to important and still inaccessible technological services, such as digital forensic analysis, incident response and research infrastructure.

What sets InterSecLab apart is its unique combination of technical expertise, a deep commitment to social justice and a critical stance on oppressive and colonial structures strongly present in the technological world as well. When carrying out its work InterSecLab seeks to expand the capacity of the field of protection of defenders, activists and communities to respond to the context of violence and violation of rights through technologies, joining forces in the search for transformations
