FORT MEADE, Md. — The National Security Agency (NSA) is pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the National Cryptologic Museum. As NSA’s principal gateway to the public, the newly renovated museum will provide a unique opportunity to engage with cryptologic history in fresh and innovative ways – transporting visitors on a journey from the…
Even though technical solutions for security problems are widespread, there are no adequate security measures against precarious user behavior. Even if hashing and encrypting are used correctly in masking the passwords, attackers can bypass these strong points by going for the weakest link. Most likely, this will happen through sharing a password, using an already leaked password, or creating a feasibly guessable password (Olmstead and…

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative capability for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Agentic AI systems can execute complex tasks independently. Unlike traditional AI, these agents can proactively analyze data, make decisions, and act with minimal human intervention. Within the DoD, the concept of agentic warfare reflects a growing shift from…
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology (DHS S&T) cyber community of interest (COI) and the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Cyber Security and Information Assurance Interagency Working Group (CSIA IWG) are excited to once again co-host the workshop on protecting the software and hardware supply chain. This year’s focus is…
The Cybersecurity and Information Systems Information Analysis Center (CSIAC) was tasked with researching and providing information on open standards applicable to zero trust implementation. CSIAC identified various open standards being used today that support and uphold the implementation of the zero trust architecture within the U.S. Department of Defense.
This discussion provides attendees with an understanding of how to construct a comprehensive risk management program. This includes developing a governance structure, a risk appetite statement, and related policies and procedures. The publication “Advancing Risk Management Capability Using the OCTAVE FORTE Process” helps gain an understanding of the framework and underpinnings of this discussion. This…
As more connected devices demand an increasing amount of bandwidth for tasks like teleworking and cloud computing, it will become extremely challenging to manage the finite amount of wireless spectrum available for all users to share. Engineers are employing artificial intelligence to dynamically manage the available wireless spectrum, with an eye toward reducing latency and…
While breakthrough results over the past few years have garnered headlines proclaiming the dawn of quantum supremacy, they have also masked a nagging problem that researchers have been staring at for decades: Demonstrating the advantages of a quantum computer is only half the battle; verifying that it has produced the right answer is just as…
In today’s hyperconnected world, wireless communication faces a critical challenge known as the “spectrum crunch.” Spectrum crunch results from more devices vying for limited frequencies, creating an overcrowded radio frequency spectrum — a bottleneck that disrupts communication. Spectrum crunch threatens not only everyday conveniences like cellphone connectivity but also essential services, such as emergency response…
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency announced a Resilient Software Systems Accelerator program to kick-start the widespread adoption of math-based software development practices to make military systems inherently more secure against cyberthreats. During the Resilient Software Systems Colloquium held in Arlington, Virginia, leaders from the Defense Department, DARPA, and industry spoke about aging IT infrastructure,…
