From the Desk of the Founder & Director, James Cruz
It is with great pride and excitement that I share a milestone in our journey: the official Grand Launch of Asia-ISAC — the first member-focused Information Sharing and Analysis Center for Asia.
Asia-ISAC was founded with a clear dual mission:
- To unlock business innovation and growth through the secure adoption of AI.
- To reduce the cost and impact of cyberattacks through trusted, cross-sector collaboration.
We believe that the future of Asia’s digital economy depends not only on technological progress but also on collective resilience. This is why we are bringing together organizations from every sector to innovate responsibly, share intelligence, and defend against ever-growing cyber threats.
