ASPI’s International Cyber Policy Centre (ICPC) is a leading voice in global debates on cyber, emerging and critical technologies, foreign interference and issues related to information operations and disinformation. The Centre's work is agenda setting and focuses on the impact these issues have on broader strategic policy.

The Centre informs public debate globally and supports policy development in the Indo-Pacific region by producing original, empirical, data-driven research. You will find the centre’s research here.

The Centre 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, Indigenous STEM and gender, satellite analysis, surveillance and China-related issues.

To develop capability in Australia and across the Indo-Pacific region, the Centre 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. 

The Centre enriches regional debates by collaborating with civil society groups from around the world and by bringing leading global experts to Australia through our international fellowship program, including the former Commander of the United States Cyber Command and Director of the National Security Agency Admiral Michael Rogers. 

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

• The Sydney Dialogue
• Understanding Global Disinformation and Information Operations
• auCheck - a new public Internet security and standards tool
• Mapping China’s Technology Giants (re-launched June 2021)
• The Xinjiang Data Project
• A 3D satellite deep dive into the India-China border
• China Defence Universities Tracker (updated May 2021)
• The IndigiCyber, Defence & Space Program
• Mapping conditions in Rakhine State

We would like to thank all of those who support and contribute to the Centre with their time, intellect and passion for the topics we work on. If you would like to support the work of the Centre, please contact [email protected]
