National Cyber Leap Year

Overview
During 2009, the NITRD Program led a series of activities comprising the National Cyber Leap Year (NCLY'), a Federally initiated public-private effort to shape research and development strategies that focus on game-changing technologies for securing the U.S.'s cyber infrastructure and digital information. The NCLY was directed by the NITRD Senior Steering Group (SSG) for Cyber Security R&D, with guidance from the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The objective of the NCLY was to identify game-changing ideas with the potential to reshape the cyber security landscape.
