This 2019 Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan supersedes the 2016 Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan. The Plan aims to coordinate and guide federally funded R&D in cybersecurity, including development of consensus-based standards and best practices. The Plan identifies four interrelated defensive capabilities (deter, protect, detect, and respond) and six priority areas for cybersecurity R&D (artificial intelligence, quantum information science, trustworthy distributed digital infrastructure, privacy, secure hardware and software, and education and workforce development) as the focusing structure for Federal cybersecurity R&D activities and investments to benefit the Nation.

Powerful personal computers, high-bandwidth and wireless networking technologies, and the widespread use of the Internet have transformed stand-alone computing systems and predominantly closed networks into the virtually seamless fabric of today`s information technology IT infrastructure. This infrastructure provides for the processing, transmission, and storage of vast amounts of vital information used in virtually every facet of society, and it enables Federal agencies to routinely interact with each other as well as with industry, private citizens, state and local governments, and the governments of other nations...

The President`s Cyberspace Policy Review challenges the Federal community to develop a framework for research and development strategies that focus on game-changing technologies that can significantly enhance the trustworthiness of cyberspace. The Cybersecurity Game-Change Research and Development R and D Recommendations, coordinated through the Federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development NITRD Program www.nitrd.gov and its Cyber Security Information Assurance CSIA Interagency Working Group IWG, have identified three 3 initial R and D themes to exemplify and motivate future Federal cybersecurity research activities: a Moving Target, Tailored Trustworthy Spaces, and Cyber Economic Incentives...
