ASPI’s Cyber, Technology & Security analysts aim to inform and influence policy debates in the Indo-Pacific through original, rigorous and data-driven research.

ASPI’s International Cyber Policy Centre (ICPC) is now ASPI Cyber, Technology & Security (CTS). The name change reflects our growing body of work on broader cyber-related issues and hybrid threats, such as critical technologies, critical infrastructure, and coercive diplomacy.

CTS remains a leading voice in global debates on cyber, emerging and critical technologies, foreign interference and issues related to information operations and disinformation. Our work is agenda setting and focuses on the impact these issues have on broader strategic policy.

CTS informs public debate globally and supports policy development in the Indo-Pacific region by producing original, empirical, data-driven research. You will find our research here.

CTS has a growing mixture of expertise and skills with teams of researchers who concentrate on policy, technical analysis, information operations and disinformation, critical and emerging technologies, cyber capacity building and Internet safety, satellite analysis, surveillance and China-related issues.

To develop capability in Australia and across the Indo-Pacific region, CTS has a capacity building team that conducts workshops, training programs and large-scale exercises for the public, private and civil society sectors. Current projects are focusing on capacity building in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands region, across a wide range of topics.

CTS enriches regional debate by collaborating with civil society groups from around the world and by bringing leading global experts to Australia through our international fellowship program.

Some of our larger initiatives and projects also have their own websites including:

• The Sydney Dialogue - to be held 2-3 September 2024
• The Critical Technology Tracker (update coming in 2024)
• Identifying the Building Blocks of China’s Information Campaigns
• The Xinjiang Data Project
• A 3D satellite deep dive into the India-China border
• Understanding Global Disinformation and Information Operations
• Mapping China’s Technology Giants
• Mapping conditions in Rakhine State
