National Cyber Leap Year Summit Reports Now Available

Created by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on September 29, 2009

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program created the Leap-Ahead Initiative in response to the President's call to secure the nation's cyberinfrastructure. The goal of this new initiative is to develop "the national cyber security leap-ahead research and development agenda".

Commercial and academic innovators recently attended the National Cyber Leap Year Summit in Arlington, Virginia, August 17-19, 2009, to discuss strategies for initiating and sustaining fundamental cyber security changes within the following five areas:

Basing trust decisions on verified assertions (Digital Provenance)
Attacks only work once if at all (Moving-target Defense)
Knowing when we have been had (Hardware-enabled Trust)
Move from forensics to real-time diagnosis (Nature-inspired Cyber Health)
Crime does not pay (Cyber Economics)

The 2009 National Cyber Leap Year Summit's Co-Chairs Report and Participants' Ideas Report are both available online. Visit the NITRD website for more information.
