Information security has never been more challenging. Recognising that domestic measures alone are inadequate, IMPACT seek to bridge the gap between the domestic and international as well as the public and private spheres in countering cyber threats. IMPACT’s partnership with alliances, academia, industry and international bodies allows them to strengthen their capacity and capabilities individually to collectively ensure the protection and security of each government’s cyberspace and critical national ICT infrastructure.

IMPACT’s collaborative platform serves as a gateway for partnership opportunities with the ITU’s 191 Member States. It promotes greater cooperation and alliances in combating cyber threats. IMPACT is the physical, operational home of the ITU’s GCA which is built upon five strategic pillars and made up of seven main strategic goals.

IMPACT will facilitate the implementation of activities aimed at meeting the GCA’s strategic goals by developing and proposing forward-looking global strategies through wide ranging expertise, taking into account current and existing initiatives.
