Our mission is to advance cybersecurity research for national defense: to give the Republic of Moldova capabilities it can use, and to give students the experience to build them.
What we do
Build national capabilities
IRIS, the national cyber defence platform, is designed, built and operated by ASSI students.
Train defenders
The Cybersecurity Academy prepares a new cohort of top students every year.
Convene the debate
The Digital Democracy Forum connects technology, law and public institutions around the resilience of our democracy.
Research what matters
We study the threats that target the country: hybrid attacks, election interference, AI-enabled operations.
How we work
- Useful before graduationWe measure ourselves by what we deliver to institutions, not by what we promise.
- Think like an attacker, act as a defenderOffensive knowledge exists to protect; everything we test, we test with permission.
- Open to every good studentTalent and commitment decide who joins, not connections.
- Say what is trueWe publish what we can verify and label what is still in progress.
