Overview

QUT's Information Security Institute (ISI) is a multi-disciplinary institute that builds real solutions for government, business and the community by undertaking research in technology, legal, policy and governance issues related to information security.

The ISI is a dynamic research facility that integrates the research of the four founding faculties to answer information security, information protection and technology policy challenges that confront business, government and the community as a whole.

ISI has been formed as a collaborative research undertaking of the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering (BEE), the Faculty of Business (BUS), the Faculty of Information Technology (IT), and the Faculty of Law (LAW).

The creation of the ISI consolidates the already acknowledged expertise that QUT has developed in all aspects of information security over the last 15 years, through the Information Security Research Centre (ISRC).

This multi-disciplinary approach provides QUT with an opportunity to play a leading role in research in the area of Safeguarding Australia which has been identified by the Australian Research Council as one of the key areas of applied research for Australia.

Vision

The vision of the Information Security Institute is to make a real difference by establishing the institute as an internationally recognized centre of excellence in information assurance and technology policy - a strategic resource for government, business and the community alike.
