The ISRS Flashpoint Report series delivers concise, evidence-based assessments of high-priority threats at the intersection of intelligence, security, and technology. Each report is produced by analysts with operational backgrounds in national intelligence, cybersecurity, and field advisory work, bringing practitioner judgment to bear on issues that demand clarity, not abstraction.

Flashpoint Reports are designed for policymakers, institutional stakeholders, and security professionals who need authoritative analysis without the lag of traditional publication cycles. Where longer-form ISRS research examines structural trends and frameworks, Flashpoint Reports focus on the acute: a threat that is emerging now, a dynamic that is shifting this quarter, a vulnerability that requires immediate attention.

Each report is peer-reviewed, formally cited, and archived with a permanent DOI, ensuring that rapid analysis meets the standards of lasting scholarship.

The series is available in the ISRS Zenodo Community.
