The National Institute of Intelligence and Security Studies (NIISS) is Pakistan’s first federally constituted Centre of Excellence (CoE) to study the relationship between Intelligence and Security in contemporary times. The CoE will equip future leaders with analytical skills for their pragmatic roles in the public and private sectors. Our academic endeavors seek to equip potential security analysts with critical tools for developing intelligence assessments that will guide policymakers and enable governmental institutions to implement safeguards against potential threats.
