Our Mission

The Daylight Security Research Lab shifts the way people understand and identify the harms of technology—and expands the populations able to do so.

By generating novel tools, practices, and representations, we make “security” specific and actionable to those who need it.

Project Domains

We start from a rich, social vision of security, beyond formalized models or rigid technical requirements. We build better tools and processes for uncovering security threats, and broaden participation in the practice—to get "more hands on deck," integrating more diverse perspectives on what counts as a threat.
