Citizen Lab

The Citizen Lab conducts research and investigations on topics such as digital surveillance, censorship, and cyber attacks. Key features of our work include in-depth analysis of malware and spyware, investigations into targeted attacks on human rights organizations and individuals, and research on the intersection of technology and human rights. Our technical implementation details include the use of network analysis, reverse engineering, and other technical methods to investigate and analyze digital threats. Specific use cases and benefits of our work include providing critical information and analysis to human rights organizations, policymakers, and the general public, as well as informing the development of policies and laws related to digital security and human rights. Unique differentiators of our work include our interdisciplinary approach, which combines technical expertise with knowledge of human rights and global security, and our commitment to making our research and findings publicly available.
