The New Security Foundation exists to promote a wider understanding of the nature of modern security and its implications for civil society.
The Foundation has two main objectives. The first is to conduct research into emerging security issues and to produce information and analysis, which can be made available to decision makers in both the public and private sectors. The second is to provide an international forum for debate and discussion about the nature of modern security and its implications.
A network of experts with a background in academia, government, intelligence, the armed forces, the emergency services and business enables the New Security Foundation to draw on an international pool of expertise and provide an insight into emerging defence and security issues.

The recent spate of cyber attacks on the Republic of Estonia, one of the European Union’s new member states, has raised important questions for the international community.
General Johannes Kert, military representative of the Republic of Estonia to NATO and a keynote speaker at the New Security Foundation’s Berlin conference on security training, told delegates that the status in international law of state sponsored cyber attacks needed to be addressed by politicians and lawyers as a matter of urgency.
General Kert, who was speaking in a session on‚ Terror and the Web’ told the conference that the attacks had been coordinated by state organisations and succeeded in damaging both public and private sector facilities. They had, however, provided an opportunity to test resilience procedures and improve training.
