For 20 years, ISD has delivered field-leading threat detection, analysis and real-world strategies to combat terrorism, extremism and authoritarianism - in all their ideological forms.

Far-Right Extremism

Far-right extremist groups including neo-Nazis, white supremacists and Active Clubs have become increasingly mainstream over the past decade. Their beliefs threaten national and community security, democratic values and individual rights. ISD’s work to counter these ideologies includes providing insights to law enforcement and policy makers around illegal activity, while building community resilience to extremist indoctrination.
