FORT MEADE, Md. – A report released by the National Security Agency (NSA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E) urges a national effort to better understand the behavior of software underpinning national security and critical infrastructure systems.
The Cybersecurity Information Sheet (CSI), “Closing the Software Understanding Gap,” points to the need for policy action, technical innovation, and resources to help systems owners and operators better construct and assess their software-controlled systems across all conditions – normal, abnormal, and hostile.
