FEDERAL CYBERSECURITY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN (2023)

(January 11, 2024)

This 2023 Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan supersedes the 2019 Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan. The Plan aims to coordinate and guide federally funded R&D in cybersecurity, including development of consensus-based standards and best practices. This Plan identifies five priority areas (human-centered cybersecurity, trustworthiness, cyber resilience, cybersecurity metrics, and cybersecurity research infrastructure) and three federal priority application scenarios (secure software and hardware supply chain, trustworthy artificial intelligence, and secure clean energy future) as the focusing structure for federal cybersecurity R&D activities and investments to benefit the nation.
