History
Origins and development of the organisation.
ASESTI arose from the need to create a forum for recognition and professional development for those working in the field of counter-terrorism and the prevention of violent extremism. Following years of planning and collaboration between experts, academics and security professionals, the Association was established as a leading forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience.
