The Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P) is a consortium of national cyber security institutions, including academic research centers, government laboratories and non-profit organizations, all of which have long-standing, widely recognized expertise in cyber security research and development (R&D). The I3P is managed by Dartmouth College, which is home to a small administrative staff that oversees and helps direct consortium activities.
The I3P coordinates and funds cyber security research in several areas related to critical infrastructure protection and hosts high-impact workshops that bring together thought leaders from both the public and private sectors. The I3P brings a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional perspective to complex and difficult problems, and works collaboratively with stakeholders in seeking solutions. Since its founding, in 2002, more than 100 researchers from a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds have worked together to better understand and mitigate critical risks in the field of cyber security.

“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
“Guns have metamorphosed into cameras in this earnest comedy, the ecology safari, because nature has ceased to be what it always had been—what people needed protection from. Now nature tamed, endangered, mortal—needs to be protected from people.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
