The SaTC Forum is designed for users to have information about the research supported by the SaTC program at their fingertips and easily accessible.
The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program funds fundamentally new, principled approaches to protect and defend cyberspace against harmful actions by determined adversaries, and to measure their effectiveness. The SaTC program also seeks to explore innovative approaches for growing a capable, next-generation cyber workforce, and for accelerating the transition of successful cybersecurity research into practice and useful products.
Hurricane Sandy bluntly reminded us both how dependent we are and how much we take for granted the complex systems that provide energy, transportation, water, medical care, emergency response, and security at levels considered luxurious just a generation ago. Stuxnet, earnest bear and other cyber exploits targeted at operational technologies (OT) highlight the potential risk to these systems resulting from a malicious action, and the associated cascading effects.
The goal of the CPS program is to develop the core system science needed to engineer complex cyber-physical systems upon which people can depend with high confidence. The program aims to foster a research community committed to advancing research and education in CPS and to transitioning CPS science and technology into engineering practice.
The SoS VO is an online community to advance cyber-security science
Virtually every computing system today is at risk from some form of cyber attack. The problem continues to grow in scope, in part because there does not exist today a foundational science of security. While the community is certainly making improvements in the security of many systems, progress is often ad-hoc, muddled, and difficult to measure with respect to actual progress being made.
