mission
Security can never be an afterthought. The global nature of organized crime and the risks it poses to our organisations makes collaboration with multi-disciplinary and like-minded experts essential. As cybercrimes transcend time and physical proximity, our ability to keep abreast of cross border developments is vital. We are fortunate that the trusted IBSA network offers us this platform.
