Today marks a solemn one for democracy. One year ago, terrorists used both physical and ideological violence to threaten the outcome of a free, fair, and secure election.

That the outcome of the election was fulfilled was the result of physical and ideological resolve crucial to the will of democracy. IST shares this resolve.

At IST, we work to reduce physical, technical, and ideological risks that threaten global security. We do so, not just to support democracy, but to protect and advance it globally.

A bias toward action will continue to guide our efforts, and a firm commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and equality will ground us as we advance our mission.
