Innovation Results, Relevance, and Impact

Abstract

Software increasingly becomes integral to how we work, communicate, and fight our nations adversaries. As we have come to depend more on software, we face the risks that arise from this dependence. The size and complexity of software, as well as the interconnectedness of software-enabled systems, mean possible exposure to disruptive, damaging events. These stem from not only software quality issues, emergent behavior, and unforeseen dependenciesbut also cyber-attack by hackers, insiders, criminals, nation states, and terrorists. Meeting challenges from these ever-evolving capabilities, use cases, and threats requires continual innovation in the way we build and secure software and the systems on which we depend.
