DHS Calls for Cybersecurity White Papers

Alice Lipowicz writes on Washington Technology:

The Homeland Security Department is initiating an ambitious Cyber Security Research Development Center program that entails soliciting input from industry, government labs and academia on how to protect data against the latest threats and intrusions.

The Science & Technology Directorate published a 43-page broad agency announcement seeking white papers on topics such as botnet and malware protection, composable and scaleable systems, cyber metrics, data visualization, routing security, process control security, real-time assessment, data anonymization and insider threat detection and management.

White papers on technologies to address the threats and strengthen protections are due on June 27. Final proposals will be due on Sept. 17.

The directorate will award up to $4.5 million for research related to technologies proposing solutions in nine topic areas.
