Center for Emerging Threats and Opportunities (CETO)
CETO was an internal Marine Corps think tank run by Potomac Institute staff dedicated to developing new concepts in direct support of the Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration and the Commanding General of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory. Its work included future threat and adversary assessment that seeks to influence development of warfighting concepts, experimentation, and capabilities.
Cyber Readiness Index (CRI) Initiative
The Cyber Readiness Index (CRI) 2.0 team developed a ground-breaking methodology, known as the CRI 2.0, to evaluate and measure a country’s preparedness levels for certain cybersecurity risks. The team of experts apply the CRI 2.0 to provide a compelling and actionable review of a country’s policies, plans, laws, standards, market levers (e.g., incentives and regulations), and other initiatives.
The International Center for Terrorism Studies (ICTS) educates policymakers and the public in general on the nature and intensity of the terrorism threat in the 21st century. It monitors current and future threats; develops response strategies; communicates with policymakers, academic institutions, business, media, and civic organizations; and sponsors research programs to share findings nationally and internationally.
