Tactical Tech’s Exposing the Invisible project offers resources that provide you with knowledge, good practices and tools to enhance your investigative skills.

Technology has transformed the way people find and share information.

On exposingtheinvisible.org, journalists, researchers, investigators and other evidence seekers can easily navigate, explore and access the latest investigative trends, resources and materials designed to empower a community committed to revealing the truth and promoting transparency and accountability across the world.

Through a series of talks, videos, podcasts, interviews, guides, workshops and more, Exposing the Invisible makes innovative techniques, tools,  methods and best investigation practices accessible to all.
