Network for Security, Strategy & Technology-NESST

Network for Security, Strategy and Technology (NESST) is an independent platform advancing research, dialogue, and policy engagement at the intersection of security, emerging technologies, and global governance. It brings together expert insights, policy discussions, and academic analysis on key issues shaping international security, including nuclear deterrence, artificial intelligence in military domains, cybersecurity, space security, and strategic stability.
Founded by Dr Anum A Khan, NESST seeks to bridge the gap between research and policy through informed, inclusive, and forward-looking debates.
The platform features expert talks, policy panels, research explainers, conference highlights, and youth-focused academic content. NESST is committed to amplifying diverse voices, promoting women’s leadership in security discourse, and supporting responsible technology governance in a rapidly evolving global order.
