Who we are
As the world’s first not-for-profit comprehensive global public-private partnership against cyber threats, the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats (IMPACT) is well positioned to assist partner countries, especially developing nations who are broadening their Internet capabilities.

IMPACT is dedicated to bringing together governments, academia, industry leaders and cybersecurity experts to enhance the global community's capacity to prevent, defend against and respond to cyber threats. IMPACT's Global HQ is located in Cyberjaya, Malaysia.

What we stand for
The dangers of cyber threats continues to evolve and spike at a pervasive rate. The risks are further compounded as increasingly connected societies transcend geographical and physical borders, where stakeholders communicate in realtime. Utilising the same networks and links that bind us globally, cyber threats and attacks are able to strike from virtually anywhere in the world, potentially causing catastrophic social and economic harm to countries that are oceans away.

Governments cannot contain these cyber threats singlehandedly through domestic measures alone. Neither should governments be left to grapple with this danger on their own any longer, as the expertise and skill to combat these cyber threats are largely dispersed across the globe. In many cases, the solution is in the private sector or academia.

There is an absolute need to converge and share the information as well as resources that will escalate the safety of our cybersecurity. Without expert collaboration and knowledge sharing, individual countries lessen their ability to respond to cyber threats and may potentially expose themselves and their neighbours to greater risks online, as perpetrators learn to exploit national, regional and global information and communication technology weaknesses one-by-one.

And this is the void IMPACT fills, enabling governments and stakeholders with vested interests in cybersecurity to converge, connect and collaborate for a tighter and a more cohesive more forward in the defence against adversaries online.
