Core offering

ICIT operates as a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) think tank that produces research, publishes whitepapers and policy briefs, and convenes senior decision-makers across government, industry, and academia on critical infrastructure security and modernization. It runs five Impact Engines (Center for FCEB Resilience, Data Centers & AI, Defense Critical Infrastructure, Drones+, Workforce), maintains a Digital Library of research and webcasts, and hosts events and briefings that translate complex cyber, AI, and infrastructure risks into actionable insights.

Product overview

ICIT (Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)3 think tank — not a product company. Its 'offerings' are research, convening, and educational programs rather than commercial software products. The core platform is the ICIT Digital Library, which aggregates and distributes research publications, white papers, policy briefs, and webcasts authored by ICIT Fellows and partner experts. This library is organized around five Impact Engines — Center for FCEB Resilience, Data Centers & Artificial Intelligence, Defense Critical Infrastructure, Drones+, and Workforce — each dedicated to a distinct critical infrastructure focus area. The organization also publishes standalone research papers (e.g., Q Day Preparedness, The Harness Gap, CDM 2.0, Policy Brief: Framework for Artificial Intelligence), hosts webcasts and events, and provides community convening forums. There are no commercial software products, SaaS platforms, APIs, or modules in a traditional product sense.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Center for Cybersecurity Policy and Law: A Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit focused on cybersecurity policy, legislation, and public-private collaboration. Already a partner to ICIT on the CDM 2.0 whitepaper, it competes directly for federal cybersecurity policy mindshare and sponsor support.
• Aspen Cybersecurity Group: An Aspen Institute program convening senior cybersecurity leaders across government, industry, and academia to develop policy recommendations—essentially the same operating model as ICIT, focused on a closely adjacent cybersecurity niche.

Broad incumbents

• Atlantic Council: A major D.C.-based think tank whose Cyber Statecraft Initiative covers many of the same critical-infrastructure cybersecurity, AI, and resilience themes as ICIT, but with a far larger staff, budget, and global policy footprint.
• Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS): A leading D.C. policy research organization with technology and cybersecurity programs (Wadhwani Center, etc.) that overlap ICIT's critical-infrastructure and federal resilience focus, but at significantly greater scale and breadth.
• Cyberspace Solarium Commission: A congressionally mandated commission (and successor 2.0) that produces strategic cybersecurity policy recommendations; ICIT's CEO serves as advisor to CSC 2.0, indicating direct overlap in federal cyber policy thought leadership.
• Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: An established D.C. and global policy think tank whose technology and international-affairs programs intersect with ICIT's critical-infrastructure protection, AI governance, and resilience work, though much broader in scope.
• Hudson Institute: A D.C.-based policy research organization producing reports on national security, technology policy, and cybersecurity—adjacent to ICIT's FCEB, defense critical infrastructure, and AI governance focus areas.
• Heritage Foundation: A large D.C. policy think tank with defense, technology, and cybersecurity research that draws on federal agency and academic networks comparable to ICIT's, but with a vastly larger budget and ideological framework.
• SANS Institute: A large cybersecurity research and training organization that, like ICIT, focuses heavily on critical-infrastructure and federal cybersecurity, but monetizes through certifications, training, and paid research rather than convening and donations.
• Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF): A D.C.-based tech policy think tank publishing research on AI governance, cybersecurity, data centers, and federal IT modernization—all of which directly intersect ICIT's Data Centers & AI and FCEB Impact Engines.
