meet in December 2019. Many potential sub-groups have been identified, the CTSIG has the potential

Inclusive Security SIG Launched

In July 2020, the ISSIG launched with Anna-Liisa Tampuu ASyI and Lisa Riley as co-chairs. The SIG
aims to explore and understand how engagement with all groups of society will pave the way to

inclusion in security can lead to innovation in our broader field of security, and how we can bring
about change together. Lack of diversity in an organisation, or in a sector more broadly, can limit
innovation and adaptation to the evolving marketplace.
