Research Division The focus of the Research Division is to direct academic attention – including from universities and research institutes – to areas of concern that may not currently be adequately addressed. This includes research into new areas (e.g. IPV6), as well as specialised niche areas (e.g. research into vulnerabilities of non-mainstream systems, such as the legacy SCADA systems still used by some countries). With a small user base, niche technologies may not be commercially viable for industry-oriented solutions, making governments or ogranisations using such technologies vulnerable to threats. IMPACT is committed to making facilities available and encouraging joint research efforts to address these specific areas of concern. In collaboration with ITU, IMPACT is making its research network available for the benefit of interested ITU Member States. Besides the academic network, IMPACT Global HQ provides ITU membership with access to specialised ICT laboratories, specialised equipment, resource centre and other facilities.
