Citation: CSIA IWG, Federal Plan for Cyber Security and Information Assurance Research and Development (Apr. 2006).

Overview
This Federal Plan for Cyber Security and Information Assurance Research and Development was developed by the Cyber Security and Information Assurance Interagency Working Group under the auspices of the National Science and Technology Council. It presents a coordinated interagency framework for addressing critical gaps in current cyber security and information assurance capabilities and technologies. The Plan focuses on interagency research and development (R&D) priorities and is intended to complement agency-specific prioritization and R&D planning efforts in cyber security and information assurance. The Plan also describes the key Federal role in supporting R&D to strengthen the overall security of the IT infrastructure through development of fundamentally more secure next-generation technologies.
