About ISD ISD is a fiercely independent ‘think and do tank’ dedicated to safeguarding individual rights, democratic process, national security and public safety against the rising tide of authoritarianism and extremism globally. For 20 years, ISD has been at the forefront of analysing, exposing and combatting all forms of terrorism, extremism, foreign interference, digital manipulation and authoritarianism, helping equip institutions, individuals, communities and the private sector with the tools, policies and skills to achieve impact at scale. We have innovated and scaled sector leading policy and operational programs–on and offline–to push back the forces threatening democratic processes and cohesion around the world today. We partner with governments, cities, businesses and communities to turn cutting-edge data and insight into action; trialing and delivering evidence-based solutions across society; and empowering those that can impact positive change at scale. Our research also shapes and informs our education and civic action programmes as well as the training and policy support we provide to central and local governments, frontline practitioners, companies and international organisations.
