Executive Office of the President, Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan (Feb. 2016) (full-text).
Overview[]
The plan defined three cybersecurity R&D goals: (1) within the next 1 to 3 years, achieve the science and technology advances needed to "counter adversaries' asymmetrical advantages with effective and efficient risk management,' meaning the ability to identify, assess, and respond to cybersecurity risks; (2) over the next 3 to 7 years, achieve advances to "reverse adversaries' asymmetrical advantages, through sustainably secure systems development and operation"; and (3) over the next 7 to 15 years, achieve advances "for effective and efficient deterrence of malicious cyber activities via denial of results and likely attribution."
